This is a case of probable transmission of Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) from an unvaccinated mother to an infant through breast-feeding. It highlights the importance of being cautious when exposed to infected animals or consuming raw food products, especially for individuals who are not vaccinated.
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is transmitted mainly by tick bites, but humans can acquire infection through consuming unpasteurized milk from infected animals. Interhuman transmission of TBEV by breast milk has not been confirmed or ruled out. We report a case of probable transmission of TBEV from an unvaccinated mother to an infant through breast-feeding.
