“…From childhood to golden age: TBEa threat throughout life With advancing age, the ability of the human organism to mount an immune response decreases, the reaction to vaccination tends to slow down, and antibody titers reach lower values and decrease earlier than in younger vaccinees [3,20]. As immune response weakens, the health risks associated with infection increase.…”

“…As immune response weakens, the health risks associated with infection increase. This is also the case with TBE, where the course in the elderly is more severe, requires longer rehabilitation, and is associated with a higher likelihood of fatal outcome [3].

“…For all these countries, with the exception of Austria, an increasing incidence is reported. Due to increased travelling of people, it is becoming an international public health problem (Kunze et al, 2006), however, no reports of TBE from the UK, Ireland and Malta have been reported (as of February 2007). Louping Ill (LI) virus is a member of the TBE virus serocomplex but molecular anlyses indicate that it is distinct from other members of the group (McGuire et al, 1998).…”
