A person can get dengue fever up to four times in their lifetime. This is because it can be infected with four different serotypes of the virus. Once she is exposed to a particular serotype, after transmission, she has immunity to that specific serotype.
Among the states with the most probable and confirmed cases are the Federal District, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Santa Catarina, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Bahia, and Rio Grande do Sul.
Dengue serotype 1 is the most common in Brazil and has been registered in all states. Then serotype 2 appears in 24 states and the Federal District.
There is simultaneous circulation of all four dengue serotypes in the national territory, but only the state of Minas Gerais has so far recorded the presence of all serotypes simultaneously.
The virus has four different serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4, all of which can cause different forms of the disease.
