A doctor has provided 1 answer

NOT PREDICTABLE: Arthopod borne encephalitis can be very difficult to treat, and there is potential brain injury which can be permanent. Assuming good outcome, likely about 6-9 months to return to level of prior functioning. Suggest a conference with the treatment team, plans for rehab, and their opinion regarding prognosis. You are to be praised for your empathy and loyalty.
