Categorization systems for tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) infection lack consistency in classifying disease severity. To evaluate the need for a standard, consensus-based categorisation system for TBEV infection across subtypes, we gathered an expert panel of clinicians and scientists with diverse expertise in TBEV infection. Consensus was sought using the Delphi technique, which consisted of 2 web-based survey questionnaires and a final, virtual, consensus-building exercise.

Article Synopsis
  • Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection can potentially impact pregnancy outcomes, but the specific effects on placental inflammatory and cardiovascular markers have not been extensively studied.
  • This study analyzed placental samples from infected and non-infected women to evaluate levels of 177 proteins, while also considering the timing of infection during pregnancy.
  • Results indicated that women with SARS-CoV-2 infection did not show significant differences in placental protein levels or perinatal outcomes compared to non-infected women, regardless of when the infection occurred.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics and factors associated with disease severity in a Norwegian cohort of hospitalized patients with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).

Methods: This observational multicenter study included hospitalized patients with TBE in the endemic area in the southeastern region of Norway from 2018 to 2022. Clinical signs and findings from laboratory tests, EEG, CT and MRI scans were recorded.

Background: The aim of this study was to characterise long-term neurological and neurocognitive sequelae after tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in adults.

Methods: 98 prospective consecutive TBE patients, classified by disease severity, were included. Immediate outcomes were evaluated with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Rankin Scale (RS).

Background And Purpose: Our aim was to examine the correlation between biomarkers of neuronal and glial cell damage and severity of disease in patients with tick-borne encephalitis.

Methods: One hundred and fifteen patients with tick-borne encephalitis diagnosed in Lithuania and Sweden were prospectively included, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples were obtained shortly after hospitalization. Using pre-defined criteria, cases were classified as mild, moderate or severe tick-borne encephalitis.
