Nowadays, doctors are increasingly diagnosing tick-borne encephalitis. To confirm this diagnosis, a complex virological study of the patient's serum is required, which is usually performed in large medical centers. Tick-borne encephalitis occurs mainly in rural areas. The existing ways of storage and transfer of sera are either very complicated or do not guarantee sterility and cannot be recommended for wide use in rural areas.We offer our way of storing and shipping sera for virological analysis.
