What is the Prognosis for Children with Krabbe Disease?
The prognosis for Krabbe disease varies depending on the age of onset and the severity of symptoms. Infants with the early-onset form of the disease typically have a very poor prognosis, with most not surviving beyond two years of age. Those with late-onset forms may have a more variable prognosis, with some individuals living into adolescence or adulthood, albeit with significant neurological impairment.
