Tick-borne encephalitis

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infectious disease involving the central nervous system, transmitted by the bite of several species of infected ticks. The disease most often manifests as meningitis, encephalitis or meningoencephalitis. Myelitis and spinal paralysis also occur. In about one third of cases sequelae, predominantly cognitive dysfunction, persist for a year or more.
