Treatments for tick-borne encephalitis may be categorized according to a mainstay, phosphrenyl treatment, an antibiotic therapy, and homeopathic, herbal treatments. Phosphrenyl treatment is similar to interferon treatment for Hepatitis C, utilized as both a therapeutic and prophylactic agent. Antibiotic therapies are useful as many disease vectors responsible for transmission of tick-borne encephalitis also carry many other tick-borne diseases. An antibiotic therapy may be helpful in anticipating any potential tick-borne co-infections.
