Peripheral neuromotor status in convalescents after tick-borne encephalitis

Complex electromyographic examinations of 57 patients with different forms of tick-borne encephalitis were carried out during acute and delayed periods. Abnormalities of the peripheral neuromotor system were detected in patients with all forms of the disease; the most characteristic were pronounced electrogenesis disorders in the proximal part of motor nerve axons, particularly in the upper limbs, and of the spinal anterior horn motoneurons at the level of the cervical intumescence.
