2 We present an unusual TBE case with an isolated myelitis without signs of meningitis or meningoencephalitis. [dx.doi.org]

• Fever

  In these cases, fever can be the only leading manifestation. We report on four hospitalised children who had TBE and presented as fever without localising signs (FWLS) between 2000 and 2008 in an endemic area in Switzerland. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In approximately two-thirds of patients infected with the European TBE virus, only an early (viremic) phase is experienced; symptoms are nonspecific and may include fever, malaise, anorexia, muscle aches, headache, nausea, and/or vomiting. [cdc.gov]

  It may manifest as meningoencephalitis or a mild illness with fever. [patient.info]

• Pain

  Sufferers may also complain of nausea, muscle pain, lethargy and general discomfort. Some patients may go on to develop encephalitis, which can cause paralysis and can be fatal in some cases. [heathrowmedical.com]

  TBE can for instance cause long-term memory issues, severe fatigue and loss of mobility. Symptoms The incubation period is usually 4 – 14 days, but can be up to a month. The first symptoms are typically fever, headache, muscle-ache and fatigue. [vaccination.org.uk]

  Tick-borne encephalitis can affect the central nervous system and causes symptoms similar to Lyme disease: headache, fatigue and muscle pain. [stuttgartcitizen.com]

• Asymptomatic

  Seroepidemiological studies on TBE virus infection in endemic areas of various European countries have demonstrated that asymptomatic infections are common. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This phase is followed by an asymptomatic interval lasting seven (range 1–33) days that precedes the second phase, when the central nervous system is involved (meningitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, paralysis, radiculitis). [ecdc.europa.eu]

  The incubation period of TBE is usually between 7 and 14 days and is asymptomatic. Shorter incubation times have been reported after milk-borne exposure. [cdc.gov]

  Usually lasts for several days and may be followed by an afebrile and relatively asymptomatic period. Up to two-thirds of patients recover without any further illness. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

• Malaise

  In approximately two-thirds of patients infected with the European TBE virus, only an early (viremic) phase is experienced; symptoms are nonspecific and may include fever, malaise, anorexia, muscle aches, headache, nausea, and/or vomiting. [cdc.gov]

  Symptoms Fever, headache, fatigue, and malaise tend to occur and last for about five days. Following a short period of symptom-free time, more severe manifestations may develop including meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, and cranial neuritis. [columbia-lyme.org]

  The earliest symptom of Lyme disease is a rash that looks like a bull’s-eye at the site of the tick bite, and can progress to flu-like symptoms, including muscle soreness, headache, fever and malaise. [stuttgartcitizen.com]

  This phase is characterized by aggravated headaches, ophtalmoplegia, vomiting, malaise, meningeal symptoms, cranial nerve paralysis and paresis of the limbs. An acute stage of tick-borne encephalitis lasts 1 to 3 weeks. [diesse.it]

  The incubation period of 7-14 days is followed by a phase in which a patient suffers from fever, fatigue, general malaise and headache. [rivm.nl]

• Vomiting

  Case report A 43-year-old man from the Black Forest area, Germany, who had not had TBE vaccination developed symptoms of gastroenteritis with fever (diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting) lasting for approximately 1 week. [dx.doi.org]

  Signs and symptoms The initial symptoms of Tick-borne Encephalitis usually occur one to two weeks after a tick bite and include fever, headache and general flu-like illness. [heathrowmedical.com]

• Seizure

  Seizures should be treated as any other symptomatic epileptic seizures. CONCLUSIONS: Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral CNS infection that may result in long-term neurological sequelae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In certain individuals the infection can spread to the brain leading to seizures, confusion and paralysis. [ealingtravelclinic.co.uk]

  Clinical Signs Dogs Dogs exhibit neurological signs including tremors, stupor, tetraparesis, bunny hopping, seizures, blindness, delirium, hyperaesthesia aggression, circling, head pressing, dullness and mortalities. [en.wikivet.net]

• Confusion

  These patients may experience a clinical illness that involves the central nervous system with symptoms of meningitis (e.g., fever, headache, and a stiff neck), encephalitis (e.g., drowsiness, confusion, sensory disturbances, and/or motor abnormalities [cdc.gov]

  In certain individuals the infection can spread to the brain leading to seizures, confusion and paralysis. [ealingtravelclinic.co.uk]

  TBE should not be confused with Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis), which is also transmitted by tick bites. Vaccination People who spend a lot of time in areas with a known risk of TBE infection should consider vaccination against TBE. [fhi.no]

No specific antiviral treatment is currently available for TBE; indeed, supportive treatment as well as intensive care and assisted ventilation in severe forms may be needed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The medicines will usually be tested against another treatment called a control. This will either be a dummy treatment (a placebo) or a standard treatment already in use. [nhs.uk]

The long-term prognosis is unfavorable in about 40% to 50% of patients who sustain sequelae for months to years, mainly in terms of pareses, ataxia, and other gait disturbances. No specific treatment for TBE is known. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The severity of clinical symptoms at the first presentation correlated well with long-term prognosis. Patients with only “mild” symptoms at the onset mostly had a good prognosis and vice versa. [omicsonline.org]
