Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection that primarily affects the central nervous system, leading to inflammation of the brain and its surrounding tissues. This condition is significant not only due to its potential severity but also because of its increasing prevalence in certain regions, particularly in Europe and Asia. Understanding TBE is crucial for prevention, early diagnosis, and effective management, especially for those living in or traveling to endemic areas.
