Do french doctors know enough about Tick-Borne encephalitis? a new survey aims to find out

NCT ID NCT07191223

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study surveys 100 doctors and trainees in France to assess their knowledge of tick-borne encephalitis, a rare but serious viral infection spread by ticks. The goal is to see if doctors in high-risk areas are more aware than those elsewhere, and to identify gaps that could improve diagnosis and prevention. No treatment is tested—this is purely a knowledge-gathering effort.
