title: [Coexistence of two occupational infectious diseases in one patient--borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis--a case report].
abstract: Recently, infectious diseases have been found to be the most frequent among occupational diseases. Borreliosis, the most common among them, as well as tick-borne encephalitis is transmitted by ticks. Recognition of occupational etiology of such diseases is possible only when the relationship between the infection, occupational exposure and performed work is proved. A case report of a forest worker with borreliosis coexisting with tick-borne encephalitis is presented. Despite nonconcurrent recognition of both diseases it was highly possible that contagion took place at the same time or at a very short time interval. Despite high prevalence of tick-borne diseases, occupational etiology of these two infectious diseases in one patient is very rarely recognized.
