We present a case of endemic tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) occurring in June 2016 in the eastern part of the Netherlands in an area where a strain of TBE virus, genetically different from the common TBE virus strains in Europe, was reported in ticks in 2016. With the start of the tick season in spring, this second autochthonous Dutch TBE case should remind physicians to consider the possibility of endemic TBE in patients with respective symptoms.
我们报告了一例2016年6月发生在荷兰东部的地方性蜱传脑炎(TBE)病例,该地区在2016年的蜱虫中发现了一种基因上不同于欧洲常见TBE病毒株的TBE病毒株。随着春季蜱虫季节的开始,这例荷兰第二例本土TBE病例应提醒医生,对于有相应症状的患者要考虑地方性TBE的可能性。
