BIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL ASPECTS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE IN TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS
Tick-borne viral encephalitis has not lost its relevance due to the widespread distribution of ixodid ticks, which play a leading role in the transmission of infection to humans. The disease still ranks among the socially significant natural focal infections. Tick-borne viral encephalitis occurs over a fairly large area and poses a threat to the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population due to the danger of developing severe clinical forms and persistent changes in the nervous system. The biological and clinical aspects of lesions of the nervous system in tick-borne encephalitis have been studied. Severe complications of this infection are explained by the refusal of the population from seasonal vaccination, untimely access to emergency medical centers, as well as erased symptoms in vaccinated persons.
