how long does a deep coma last after encephalitis?

the duration of deep coma in encephalitis cannot be determined and needs to be determined according to different types of encephalitis. for viral encephalitis, after active antiviral treatment and effective antiviral treatment, the encephalitis can gradually recover one month after the onset of the disease.

if the encephalitis is autoimmune encephalitis or tuberculous encephalitis, the coma may last longer. there is also a type of encephalitis, such as encephalitis caused by fungal infection, and the coma will last longer.

if it is autoimmune encephalitis, active anti-immune treatment should be carried out, including the application of immunosuppressants, gamma globulin, hormones, etc.

if it is tuberculous encephalitis, the pathogen should be actively searched for a clear diagnosis. under the protection of anti-tuberculosis drugs, hormone therapy can also be used as appropriate.
