Abstract:
The incidence of tick-borne encephalitis in Norway is increasing. The risk of infection shows considerable geographical variations, with clusters of cases in certain municipalities in the counties of Agder, and Vestfold and Telemark. There is also a major variation in clinical presentation. Only a small number of cases of tick-borne encephalitis in children have been reported in Norway, and the condition may be underdiagnosed. We present a clinical review, including two case studies, that focuses on the clinical presentation and diagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis in children.
