Article Synopsis
- The study measured serum concentrations of two brain-specific proteins, alpha(1)BG and NSE, in patients with severe tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme disease (LD) over a period of 23 days.
- Results showed that both proteins peaked on the second day of illness and then steadily decreased to normal levels by day 23, with higher levels indicating more severe cases and worse outcomes.
- The findings suggest a partial impairment of the blood-brain barrier in these patients, indicating that the levels of these proteins could reflect the severity of brain lesions.
