Description
The test is performed to diagnose tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), caused by a human virus from the flavivirus family.
IgG antibodies present in the blood indicate a past infection.
The disease is transmitted by ticks during a bite. A significant number of patients experience undetectable symptoms. Approximately 10-30% of infected individuals develop symptoms within 2 to 20 days of infection. These include flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headaches, joint pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Symptoms usually subside after a few days. In approximately 10% of symptomatic patients, the second phase of infection—involving the central nervous system—usually occurs about a week after the fever subsides.
NOTE:
Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of 26/06/2020 (Journal of Laws of 2020, item 1118), a positive test result is subject to mandatory reporting by the Laboratory performing the test to the District Sanitary and Epidemiological Station.
