Abstract

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection transmitted by ticks, primarily in Europe and Asia. While TBE is known to affect the central nervous system (CNS), there is limited understanding of its impact on brain perfusion. This case report describes changes in brain perfusion observed in a patient with acute TBE using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We present the case of a [age] year-old [gender] patient who presented with classical symptoms of TBE and underwent brain SPECT imaging. Our findings suggest significant alterations in brain perfusion, particularly in regions associated with cognitive and motor function. Further research is warranted to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these perfusion changes in TBE.
