Summary
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an acute infection involving the central nervous system (CNS) with potentially serious outcome. It is caused by the TBE virus (TBEV), which belongs to the Flavivirus family. Transmission of TBEV to humans occurs by bites of infected ticks, in Europe mainly Ixodes ricinus. A few days later, CNS manifestations such as meningitis, meningoencephalitis or encephalomyelitis may occur in approximately one third of patients [2]. The case fatality rate is less than 2%, whereas permanent sequelae such as cognitive or neuropsychiatric complaints, balance disorders, headaches, dysphasia, hearing defects, and spinal paralysis are reported in up to 46% of patients [3]
