There has been an increase in reported TBE cases in Europe since 2015, reaching a peak in some countries in 2020, highlighting the need for better management of TBE risk in Europe. TBE surveillance is currently limited, in part, due to varying diagnostic guidelines, access to testing, and awareness of TBE. Consequently, TBE prevalence is underestimated and vaccination recommendations inadequate. TBE vaccine uptake is unsatisfactory in many TBE-endemic European countries. This review summarizes the findings of a scientific workshop of experts to improve TBE surveillance and vaccine uptake in Europe. Strategies to improve TBE surveillance and vaccine uptake should focus on: aligning diagnostic criteria and testing across Europe; expanding current vaccine recommendations and reducing their complexity; and increasing public education of the potential risks posed by TBEV infection.
自2015年以来,欧洲报告的蜱传脑炎(TBE)病例有所增加,在一些国家于2020年达到峰值,这凸显了欧洲更好地管理TBE风险的必要性。目前,TBE监测存在局限性,部分原因是诊断指南不同、检测机会以及对TBE的认识存在差异。因此,TBE的流行率被低估,疫苗接种建议也不充分。在许多TBE流行的欧洲国家,TBE疫苗的接种情况并不理想。本综述总结了一次专家科学研讨会的结果,以改善欧洲的TBE监测和疫苗接种情况。改善TBE监测和疫苗接种的策略应侧重于:在全欧洲统一诊断标准和检测方法;扩大当前的疫苗接种建议并降低其复杂性;以及加强公众对TBE病毒感染所带来潜在风险的教育。
