Tick-borne Encephalitis

📋Overview

Tick-borne Encephalitis is a viral infection of the central nervous system caused by a flavivirus. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks and is recognized as a significant health concern in various regions of Europe and Asia.

This condition is distinct from other tick-borne illnesses and often presents as a biphasic illness. It can lead to serious neurological manifestations, including inflammation of the brain or the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
