Tick-Borne Encephalitis
Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection that affects the central nervous system, primarily transmitted through the bite of infected ticks. It is most common in certain regions of Europe and Asia. Symptoms can range from mild flu-like signs to severe neurological issues, including confusion and seizures.
Preventive measures include avoiding tick-infested areas, wearing protective clothing, and using insect repellent. Vaccination is available in high-risk areas and is recommended for individuals who spend significant time outdoors. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes in severe cases of TBE.
