Passive immunization with hyperimmune globulin did not prevent severe tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in a child. This case highlights the need for TBE vaccination in endemic areas.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a serious neurological disease transmitted by ticks.
  • Passive immunization using hyperimmune globulin is sometimes considered after potential exposure.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old girl developed severe TBE despite receiving specific hyperimmune globulin post-tick bite.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed B-cell increases and intrathecal antibody production.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed focal central nervous system lesions.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced an unusually severe clinical course of TBE.
  • The immunological response indicated active viral replication and central nervous system involvement.
  • Passive immunization appeared insufficient to mitigate the disease severity.

Implications:

  • This case questions the efficacy of passive immunization for TBE prevention in severe exposures.
  • Vaccination against TBE is strongly recommended for individuals residing in or traveling to endemic regions.
  • Further research may be needed to define the role of passive immunization in TBE management.
