Overview
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. Antibiotics have also been useful in deactivating certain characteristics of the virus. However certain antibiotic therapies have proven to activate the virus. Thus for this reason, certain antibiotics, such as streptomycin, should not be prescribed during the course of infection. Homeopathic therapies, such as ledum, motherwort, and blackcurrant have inactivating effects on tick-borne encephalitis virus.
Medical Therapy
- The mainstay medical therapy for tick-borne encephalitis is [Phosphrenyl]] treatment.
- Phosphrenyl treatment including both a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for TBEinterferon treatment.
- This treatment may be likened to interferon treatment for Hepatitis C.
- Antibiotic treatment may be necessary for potential tick-borne co-infections, such as phytotherapy.[1][2][3]
