4. 12. Tick-borne encephalitis : prognosis, immunization and virus strain characterization

   Author : Mats Haglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : tick-borne encephalitis; tick-borne encephalitis virus; human; clinical picture; sequelae; virus characterization; phylogeny; vaccination; neutralization;

   Abstract : The aims were to investigate the morbidity associated with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) both in the acute phase and at long-term follow-up, to develop a rapid neutralization test for confirmation of TBEV-specific antibody response and to study the serological response after TBE-vaccination and, finally, to characterize Swedish human TBEV isolates. The morbidity was studied in one retrospective follow-up study of consecutive TBE-patients, treated during a 10-year period (Paper 1) and in one prospective study of TBE-patients with aseptic meningoencephalitis of non-TBE etiology as a reference group (Paper II).
