[Mental disorders in patients after tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)].

There were 58 patients (aged 17 to 72) analyzed in our study: 34 women and 24 men one year after TBE. Psychic state was estimated with the use of psycho-pathologic scales CPRS, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, Mini Mental State and our own questionnaire. It was assumed that 22 patients required psychiatric treatment because of dementia, personality change, depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. It seems that so many syndromes stated in this group of patients were caused by TBE reaction increase of intellectual-mnestic functions as well as social and professional status.
