Summary

During 2018, 2019, and 2020, the reported TBE-cases have increased markedly in Norway. Surveillance studies conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health demonstrate that cases are associated with tick bites in the coastal areas of the Agder, Buskerud, and Vestfold and Telemark counties There is a urgent need for more knowledge of the consequences of TBE in Norway, in particular the identification of patients at risk of long-term sequela. Hence, the overall objective of this project is to gain more knowledge about the natural course of TBE in Norway, and its impact on long-term health-related quality of life and associated factors. Clinical data, biological sampling and PROMs are collected from TBE-infected patients admitted to three hospitals within the epidemic region in Norway.
