Possibly: It differs from individual to individual but a young person is more likely to regain normal function than an older one. It may take up to a year before you know for sure.

Near complete : The bilateral infarcts could also be confused with cerebritis associated with her meningitis and tuberculosis. She should be followed by infectious disease for her condition of tuberculosis. She should continue to take her tuberculosis medication including isoniazid. She would likely benefit from physical therapy and occupational therapy.
