Description Virus that causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE/FSME)
Structure Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), also known as FSME virus (Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis virus), is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae. The virus is closely related to other medically important flaviviruses, including West Nile virus, Yellow fever virus, Dengue virus, and Zika virus. TBEV is maintained in nature through transmission cycles involving ixodid ticks, primarily Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus, and a variety of wild mammalian hosts. Three major subtypes are recognized: European, Siberian, and Far Eastern. Human infection typically occurs through the bite of an infected tick, although transmission may also occur through the consumption of unpasteurized milk or dairy products from infected animals. The virus is neurotropic and can invade the central nervous system, resulting in severe neurological disease.
Diagnosis The diagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis virus infection is performed through serological and molecular methods. Detection of TBEV-specific IgM and IgG antibodies using ELISA is the primary laboratory approach and is considered highly sensitive and specific during the neurological phase of disease. Confirmation may be obtained using virus neutralization assays. Molecular detection by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) may identify viral RNA during the early viremic phase but is often less useful after neurological symptoms develop because viremia is typically transient. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis frequently demonstrates pleocytosis and elevated protein concentrations in patients with central nervous system involvement. Accurate laboratory diagnosis is essential because clinical symptoms overlap with those of other viral and bacterial neurological infections.
Symptoms Tick-borne encephalitis virus infection frequently follows a biphasic course. After an incubation period of approximately seven to fourteen days, the initial phase is characterized by nonspecific flu-like symptoms including fever, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, malaise, and nausea. Following a symptom-free interval, a second phase may occur in which the virus affects the central nervous system, resulting in meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, or myelitis. Neurological manifestations may include severe headache, neck stiffness, confusion, impaired consciousness, tremors, paralysis, seizures, and cognitive dysfunction. While many infections remain asymptomatic or mild, severe disease can result in long-term neurological sequelae or death, particularly among older adults and patients infected with more virulent viral subtypes.
