The use of physiotherapy for polio tick-borne encephalitis

The onset and development of diseases in the majority of patients with poliomyelitis form of tick-borne encephalitis proceeded as follows. 10-14 days after the tick bite, the temperature rose to 39-40 °, meningeal phenomena set in. At the height of the rise or the beginning of the fall in temperature, paralysis of one or both limbs, most often the upper ones, developed. Many also experienced paralysis of the cervical muscles ("drooping neck"). Paralysis was of a peripheral nature with atrophy and hypotonia of muscles, weakening or complete absence of tendon and periosteal reflexes and changes in electrical excitability of a peripheral nature. The blood showed moderate leukocytosis with a shift to the left and a decrease in eosinophils and monocytes. With a lumbar puncture, the fluid pressure in the majority was increased, cytosis - from 10 to 100 cells, protein - from 0.5 to 1.5%, and sometimes even higher. In a number of patients, changes in internal organs and disorders of a vegetative-trophic nature were observed.
