Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is not endemic in the Netherlands and diagnostics are seldom requested. Here, we report about the rare event of TBE in two Dutch travellers returning from Austria in July and August 2011. This report serves to create awareness among physicians to consider travel-related TBE in their differential diagnosis of patients with neurological disease returning from TBE virus endemic regions and to promote awareness among professionals advising travellers.
蜱传脑炎（TBE）在荷兰并非地方性疾病，诊断请求也很少。在此，我们报告了 2011 年 7 月和 8 月两名从奥地利返回的荷兰旅行者中罕见的 TBE 病例。本报告旨在提高医生的认识，使其在从 TBE 病毒流行地区返回的患有神经疾病的患者的鉴别诊断中考虑与旅行相关的 TBE，并提高向旅行者提供建议的专业人员的认识。
