Testing blood antibody patterns in tick-borne brain and Lyme illness
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at blood antibody test results in adults who may have tick-borne encephalitis and also signs of Lyme disease. It may help researchers understand how these infections relate and which lab patterns fit different illnesses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your symptoms fit a possible tick-borne encephalitis infection
- Your spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) is clear and has increased white blood cells
- Your blood tests show IgM and IgG antibodies for tick-borne encephalitis virus
- Your blood tests also show IgG antibodies for Lyme (Borrelia)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a steroid medication called dexamethasone can help people with tick-borne encephalitis, a serious brain infection spread by ticks. The goal is to see if this treatment reduces inflammation in the brain and improves recovery.
This study looks for certain antibodies in people with Lyme disease to understand how the body responds to the infection. It may help improve diagnosis or treatment for Lyme disease.
This study enrolls people diagnosed with early Lyme disease (erythema migrans) to learn how people’s expectations about symptoms may affect what happens after treatment. Your experience and beliefs will be compared to see if they relate to post-Lyme symptoms.
This study looks for new ways to find the cause of lymphocytic meningitis or meningoencephalitis (inflammation of the brain or its lining) when standard tests don't give an answer. It may help people who have been hospitalized with these conditions and whose spinal fluid tests were unclear or not done.
This study looks at how your body's immune system reacts to a tick bite. It may help doctors understand and prevent tick-borne diseases, which are illnesses spread by ticks, like Lyme disease.
This study tests a new antibody treatment for tick-borne encephalitis in healthy volunteers. It helps find the right dose and checks if the treatment is safe before it is tried in patients.
