We report on a pregnant patient who contracted tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) during her second trimester in an endemic region in Southern Germany. The patient presented with typical symptoms including fever and headache, and TBE infection was confirmed by positive blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing. During acute infection there was no evidence of pregnancy complications, and the mother recovered well. We performed a clinical follow-up examination of both mother and child eight months after the diagnosis of TBE, which revealed no signs of sequelae. This case study presents rare evidence of TBE infection during pregnancy and may provide guidance for both physicians as well as mothers-to-be dealing with TBE.
我们报告了一例妊娠中期在德国南部疫区感染蜱传脑炎（TBE）的孕妇。该患者表现出发热和头痛等典型症状，通过血液和脑脊液（CSF）检测阳性证实 TBE 感染。在急性感染期，没有发现妊娠并发症的证据，母亲恢复良好。在 TBE 诊断后八个月，我们对母亲和孩子进行了临床随访检查，未发现后遗症迹象。本病例研究罕见地提供了妊娠期 TBE 感染的证据，可为处理 TBE 的医生和孕妇提供指导。
