The optimal recovery period for spondylitis is up to 6 months after the onset of the disease. Early intervention contributes to a better prognosis. Spondylitis is an inflammatory disease of the spinal cord caused by autoimmune reactions to various infections, mostly transverse damage, most commonly in the thoracic medulla, which may manifest as motor deficits, sensory deficits, autonomic dysfunction and other clinical manifestations below the diseased segments. The optimal recovery period for spondylitis is generally within 6 months. After treatment with prednisone, vitamin B12, acyclovir and other medications under the guidance of a physician, if there are no serious complications, the patient will recover basically within 3 to 6 months, and will be able to take care of himself/herself. However, it may also leave sequelae such as limb paralysis and incontinence. Spondylitis is an acute disease and should be diagnosed and treated promptly to avoid delay.
