Overview
Laboratory findings
- Real-time polymerase chain reactions and other viral isolation techniques in mammalian cell cultures may be used to identify a tick-borne encephalitis infection during the intial, viremic phase.
- Immunofluorescence assays, immunoassays, IgM and IgG titers, as well as other serologic testing techniques may all be helpful in diagnosing an infection during later phases.
