Tick-borne encephalitis in Poland in years 1993-2008 - epidemiology and clinical presentation. A retrospective study of 687 patients

Abstract

The diagnosis of TBE sometimes is difficult as the disease symptoms may be non-characteristic. Therefore, a detailed anamnesis is very important in the process of TBE diagnosis and may alone justify lumbar puncture conduction. Despite usually mild course of the disease, patients may develop neurological and psychiatrical sequelae.
