Evaluation of Knowledge on Tick-borne Encephalitis Virus (TBEV) Infection Among General Practitioners and Specialists in Endemic Areas and Outside Endemic Areas in France

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Tick-borne encephalitis is a relatively rare disease (approximately 35 cases diagnosed per year), but most cases (86%) are due to contamination in France via a tick bite. Of the 71 cases reported over two years (May 2021 to May 2023), 94% of patients were hospitalized. It is therefore important to consider and diagnose at the first signs to ensure appropriate follow-up and also to implement primary prevention in endemic/at-risk areas.
