Overview
If left untreated, 50% of patients with Japanese encephalitis may progress to develop severe neurological deficits, such as deafness, hemiparesis, and aphasia. Common complications of Japanese encephalitis include seizures, coma, and spastic paralysis. Prognosis is generally poor. Approximately 20-30% of patients progress to mortality. Among patients who survive, approximately 50% suffer severe neurological, cognitive, or psychological deficits.
