Abstract

Tick-borne encephalitis is one of the most relevant natural-focal diseases in the Russian Federation. This article describes a clinical case of mixed infection: tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in a man living in Yakutia. The greatest activity of ticks is in the first half of summer in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Most contact with ticks involves visiting a forest area for relax. Given the identified features of the course of infection, primary specialists require caution about this disease, competently carry out early diagnosis and prescribe adequate therapy in a timely manner. Of great importance for the diagnosis of tick-borne infection is a carefully collected epidemiological history, with clarification of all possible routes of transmission of infection, as well as the presence of vaccination with compliance with the scheme and timeline.
