For the first time fell ill patients in the Netherlands by a tick mark encephalitis virus (TBE virus) carried. The infection occurred very likely after a tick bite while walking on the Utrecht Ridge. Meanwhile the patient is recovering. Recently, the Salland Ridge found the sign encephalitis virus (TBE virus) in character. The virus is present in several countries in North, Central and Eastern Europe, including Germany and Austria.
Sign encephalitis
An infection with the TBE virus usually proceeds without problems, but the TBE virus can cause after a flu-like illness, inflammation of the meninges and brains (meningoencephalitis). Sign bearing the virus from animal-to-animal and occasionally to humans. The disease is also known as TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) and Tick Borne Encephalitis. If people do get sick, it usually proceeds in two phases. Seven to 14 days after the tick bite you develop a fever, headache, fatigue and muscle and joint pain. Then there is about a week with no complaints. In a small number of people with an infection after brain (fleece) inflammation often develop severe headache and high fever. Then hospitalization necessary. There is no cure for cerebral (fleece) infection by TBE virus. Usually, the patient recovers completely. The RIVM advises medical professionals to think in patients with cerebral (fleece) infection and a recent tick bite now also sign encephalitis.
Avoid tick bites
The TBE virus is transmitted by tick bites. It is therefore important to prevent tick bites, often to check for tick bites, and then draw directly to remove.
TBE-virus in sign
RIVM deer examined for the presence of antibodies against the TBE virus. A small part of the deer was positive, particularly in the Salland Ridge. In that range are captured and then sign the TBE-virus was found in a few ticks. Now there is detected an infected tick after a walk on the Utrecht hill crest. Together with other organizations RIVM investigates the spread of TBE virus in the Netherlands and how likely it is to run an infection.
