- Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a significant cause of central nervous system infections in certain European regions, and this study examines clinical data from 555 confirmed TBE patients across eight centers from 2010 to 2017.

Because of the patient’s old age, comorbidities, and further complications during hospitalization, she was treated conservatively with an early switch to oral antimicrobial therapy with good oral bioavailability.
