Abstract

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a neglected zoonotic neuroinvasive disease. Most cases of TBE have a mild course, but some patients with encephalitis develop long-term neurological or neuropsychic sequelae. We report a fatal case of TBE in a patient living in an endemic area. The case occurred in a middle-aged man with no epidemiological evidence of tick bites, no consumption of raw dairy products, and who was not vaccinated against TBE. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the need for better information of the risk factors associated with TBE with the long-term sequelae, to improve case management and to stimulate the development of new vaccination strategies. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of rare fatal TBE in a middle-aged man with no severe comorbidities in Slovakia.

斯洛伐克流行地区的一种致命蜱传脑炎。
蜱传脑炎(TBE)是一种被忽视的人畜共患神经侵袭性疾病。大多数脑炎病例病程较轻,但有些脑炎患者会出现长期的神经或神经精神后遗症。我们报告一个致命的病例TBE患者生活在一个流行地区。该病例发生于一名中年男子,无蜱叮咬流行病学证据,未食用生乳制品,未接种TBE疫苗。本文的目的是提请人们注意需要更好地了解与TBE及其长期后遗症相关的风险因素,以改善病例管理并促进新的疫苗接种策略的发展。据我们所知,这是斯洛伐克首次报道的中年男子罕见致命性TBE病例,无严重合并症。
