Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral zoonosis of increasing incidence in Eurasia, and diagnosis relies mainly on the detection of IgM antibodies in serum. We here present two cases of TBE, of four patients tested, in which we have detected TBE virus (TBEV) RNA in urine with real-time PCR during
