  • Title: Tick-borne Encephalitis: Stroke-like Presentation.
    Author: Eleftheriou A, Lundin F, Petropoulos EA.
    Journal: J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis; 2019 Aug; 28(8):e119-e122. PubMed ID: 31196731.
    Abstract:
    Tick-borne encephalitis, caused by the tick-borne virus (TBEV), is endemic in central, eastern, and northern Europe eastwards through Russian Siberia and China. For the year 2009, the highest incidence in Scandinavian countries was in Sweden. The clinical symptoms have a wide spectrum. We report a unique case of clinical symptoms and radiological findings compatible with a stroke-like inflammatory lesion in the thalamus, suggesting microangiopathy from TBEV. Our case shows that TBEV could be a possible cause of stroke-like lesions.
