CHARACTERISTICS OF TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS OF CHILDREN IN PRIMORSKY REGION

Abstract

For the first time on the territory of Primorsky region the authors carried out the analysis of sickness rate and clinical course of tick-borne encephalitis of children. Most of the diseased were children from 4 to 12 years. The infection had occurred not only because of tick sting but also after using goat or cow-s milk. At 50.7% of morbid events the disease proceeded as febrilily, at 18% – in the meningeal form and at the remaining ones as focal variants of encephalitis. Under medium-serious forms, in contrast to the serious ones, the disease was characterized by faster normalization of body temperature and reduction of neurologic symptomatology.
