Have you ever had dengue fever? Doctor: I won't be hit again if...

Sonora.ID – dengue fever dengue (dbd extension) is a disease that occurs due to the bite of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, so this disease is closely related to the cleanliness of the surrounding environment.

Unfortunately, mosquitoes are very easy to raise, even one female mosquito can lay 100 to 200 eggs.

No wonder there is a call to drain standing water or water tanks to kill the mosquito eggs or larvae that develop in them.

However, on the Health Corner program on Radio Sonora FM, Dr. Santi of Kompas Gramedia Medical Center emphasized that patients with DHF cannot get the same disease again.

However, this applies to the virus itself.

“If you have already had dengue fever, you will no longer have dengue fever with the variant of the virus you already had. For example, it was affected viral dengue 1, then he will never get dengue 1 again,” Dr. Santi said.

It should be remembered that in dengue fever there are 4 types of viruses, so the chance of someone getting this disease is 4 times because there are 4 dengue fever viruses.

“It can still be hit again by a different variant of the virus,” he continued.
