What is TB?
TBE (Tick Borne Encephalitis), or Central European encephalitis, is a viral infection caused by flaviviruses that are transmitted to humans through tick bites. The disease is found especially in Scandinavia, the Baltics, Russia, Siberia, the Balkans and certain parts of Germany and Austria. In Denmark, most cases have been seen on Bornholm, but since 2018 there have also been cases outside the island, especially in North Zealand. TBE occurs in small, delimited areas called microfoci, e.g. meadow areas by watercourses, where ticks can infect humans through tick bites. The risk of infection can be reduced through vaccination, which is recommended for people at high risk of tick bites in risk areas, such as hunters, campers and forest workers.
Vaccination course:
The vaccination against TBE consists of three doses:
- The first dose is given at an optional time.
- The second dose is given 1-3 months after the first dose.
- The third dose is given 5-12 months after the second dose.
After completing the basic vaccination, a booster vaccination is recommended after 3 years, and then a revaccination every 5 years for people under 60 years of age, and every 3 years for people over 60 years of age.
Symptoms and diagnosis
Symptoms occur in two phases: first flu-like symptoms and later infection of the central nervous system. Diagnosis is made through blood and spinal fluid tests.
For organizations, clubs and associations that spend time in nature, TBE means an increased risk of illness among members. Therefore, you should consider getting vaccinated to be able to experience nature safely.
