Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection transmitted by ticks. It is a central nervous system disease. Typically it causes meningitis,

encephalitis or less often meningomyeloencephalitis. There can be even permanent consenquences of the disease such as post-encephalitic

syndrom or palsies which are treatable very slowly. Mortality is about 1–2%. Vacccination is the only effective protection against TBE.

This article presents two patients hospitalized in The Department of Infectious Diseases Faculty Hospital Brno, in which disease ended

fatally or with permanent health problems.

Keywords: tick-borne encephalitis, post-encephalitic syndrome, palsies, vaccination
