Table 6.

The presence of the residual neutrophils in the cerebrospinal fluid of 172 TBE patients in the convalescent period after 10–16 days of hospital treatment is more frequent in patients with the objective neurologic sequelae

	TBE total n = 172	TBE sequelae
	TBE total n = 172	Absent n = 165	Present n = 7
Neutrophils absent (patient number and percentage)	99 58%	98^a 59%	1^a 14%
Neutrophils present (patient number and percentage)	73 42%	67^a 41%	6^a 86%
