The cost of acute myelitis treatment depends on the treatment option chosen, as well as the extent of the myelitis injury, the severity of the neurological deficit, and whether or not formal rehabilitation is performed at a later stage. If the degree of myelitis is not severe and glucocorticoids such as methylprednisolone are used in the early stages of treatment, the cost of hormone therapy alone is about $2,000, plus MRI, lumbar puncture, and antigen antibody tests, which cost about $5,000, plus neurotrophic drugs and rehabilitation at a later stage, the total cost may be about $10,000. If glucocorticosteroids are not chosen and gammaglobulin shock therapy with less side effects is used, the cost of using gammaglobulin alone is around 25,000 yuan, plus other costs at least around 30,000 yuan. If the degree of neurological deficit is more severe in the later stage, a longer rehabilitation period may be needed, and the cost of a course of rehabilitation is between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan.
