The phenomenon of acceleration of the conduction of excitation through the CNS in patients with tick-borne encephalitis

We have previously established that in the acute period of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), which occurs with damage to the membranes and substance of the brain, the latent periods of recorded responses are increased. In dynamics, in the period of convalescence, these same patients showed an improvement in the conduction of excitation in the form of a decrease in the latent periods of the recorded responses. Due to the continued long-term disability (8-10 months after the acute period), 19 patients were referred for a consultation at the Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise to study the conduction pathways of the CNS. In 3 patients, signs of acceleration of the conduction of excitation were registered in comparison with the normal values ​​obtained in neurologically healthy patients.
