Abstract

Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is endemic to an increasing number of countries and is a common cause of meningoencephalitis in Europe and Asia making any potential complications of the disease increasingly relevant to clinicians.

We present, what is to our knowledge, the second reported case of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis following Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE) in a 47-year-old Lithuanian man. The case provides further evidence of TBE being a possible trigger of NMDAR encephalitis and highlights the importance of being aware of symptoms of autoimmune encephalitis in patients with infectious encephalitis.

蜱传脑炎是抗N-甲基-d-天冬氨酸受体脑炎的诱因之一

蜱传脑炎（TBE）在越来越多的国家流行，是欧洲和亚洲脑膜脑炎的常见病因，因此该病的任何潜在并发症与临床医生的关系日益密切。据我们所知，这是第二例报告的蜱传脑炎（TBE）后N-甲基-d-天冬氨酸受体（NMDAR）脑炎病例，患者是一名 47 岁的立陶宛男子。该病例进一步证明了蜱传脑炎可能是 NMDAR 脑炎的诱发因素，并强调了在感染性脑炎患者中注意自身免疫性脑炎症状的重要性。

期刊介绍： Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal. It publishes original research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, and editorials. The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines, for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical modelling, veterinary and human medicine. Multidisciplinary approaches and the use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Such understanding is essential for management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally acceptable manner.
