| Description |
During the 19161930 EL epidemic, the mortality rate of the acute illness varied from 1040%. For sporadic EL, however, the mortality rate is less than 5%, primarily because of the widespread availability of intensive care units and improvements in supportive care. Nevertheless, patients who develop progressive lethargy and become comatose or semicomatose may succumb to infection, and patients who develop chronic postencephalitic neurologic syndromes, including parkinsonism, may die from secondary effects of their deficits. |
