    Introduction. The paper presents epidemiology, routes of infection, forms of the disease, diagnostic and treatment methods, and prophylaxis of tick-borne encephalitis. Aim. In this paper, we present two descriptions of the cases of tick-borne encephalitis. Description of the cases. Case 1. A 60-year-old man with fever up to 39 degrees for 3 days, multi-site headache and other body aches, as well as an earstuck feeling. The day before hospitalization, there was a feeling of numbness on the right side of the face from eye level to the chin and speech distortion. Case 2. A 60-year-old patient with headaches and an increase in temperature to 39 degrees for 3 days, who, approximately, three weeks earlier was ticked by a tick in the lower parts of the back. Conclusion. It is also important for doctors to take a broader view and to make society aware of that Lyme disease is not associated only with Lyme disease. Further work is also needed towards effective treatments for Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).

    Generation of retractive spine circuits in the process of vitamin B12 deficiency

    Introduction. Subacute degeneration of the posterior and lateral spinal cord is a rare neurological complication of B12 avitaminosis. Aim. In this paper, we present the case of a 65-year-old man who, in the course of long-term vitamin B12 deficiency associated with atrophic gastritis, developed a severe set of neurological symptoms that are part of the retinal spinal cord degeneration with characteristic features in MR imaging of the cervical spine in the form of an inverted “V mark” ‘in axial images and typical localization in the spinal cord. Description of the case. After careful analysis of the syndrome and making an early diagnosis, parenteral vitamin B12 supplementation began, resulting in improved neurological status, laboratory parameters as well as regression of changes in magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion Significant symptoms of this syndrome are paresthesia in the distal parts of the limbs, ataxia, spastic paresis.
