Prognosis The mortality rate was 90% prior to antibiotic therapy. In the contemporary era, a mortality of 4% has been estimated. Since this disease is not well known and often remains undiagnosed, mortality might be much higher. Approximately 10% of those with the condition experience clinical sequelae, including cranial nerve palsy and orthopaedic limitations.
