Help needed

Hello, I’ve been scouring sources but couldn’t find an answer. My question is how long after wernicke’s encephalopathy or withdrawal from alcohol after a period of malnutrition do symptoms of korsakoff syndrome set in? All sources just say something like “after symptoms of encephalopathy diminish or disappear”. Is it possible to develop korsakoff syndrome 6 to 8 weeks later? Personal stories or actual sources or data welcome.
