Yes: I can't address what dengue might have done to you, but I'd be surprised if your immune system was "degraded". I suspect you're simply a good observer of your body and notice minor viral illnesses, and that the stresses of life may make you feel as if something's been weakened when in fact you're a tough guy. To boost measurable immune parameters, nothing compares with hard-core physical fitness.
