Abstract
The article describes a course of tick-borne encephalitis in patients of advanced age. We rarely met two-wave fever in these patients; quite long period of apyrexia is specific for them Eyeball pain and meningeal symptoms were seen in these patients less often than in other age groups. Concurrent infection is most typical and high risk of lethal outcomes is common for this group of patients. It can be explained by existence of serious comorbid conditions, lack of specific prevention and by late initiation of specific treatment .All these factors have to be taken into account during hospitalizing elderly persons with neurologic symptoms, especially in endemic regions on TBE from May till September.
