📋Overview
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection of the central nervous system caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus, a flavivirus transmitted primarily through tick bites. It is a recognized disease mainly in parts of Europe and Asia. The term 'tick-borne encephalitis' is the modern preferred term and is distinct from other tick-related illnesses such as Lyme disease. TBE typically presents with a biphasic illness and can lead to meningitis, encephalitis, or meningoencephalitis.
