The 'Glasgow scale Factor' sounds like an ancient technique applied to a non-related futuristic cure method.......as you explain it, To LATE!
Let's hope someone involved with the latter, will take the subject and get it re-evaluated as to earlier timing or thrown out?!

In the '60's, I worked as an Army corpman in contagion ward's where Meningitus was very observably evident on the skin and tested vitals of recruits infected. It seems to me, BPI & 'specific' antibiotic treatment should be started PROMPTLY upon 1st visual & biotests diagnosis. These guys were almost 'dead on arrival' at the base hospital, and not a second should be lost to 'hem & haw' diagnosis and dautle about rapid treatment.

(p.s. I didn't like working in those ward rooms. I took a sulfa drug before my work shift and after the shift called 'gantrozin' (sorry, forgot the spelling) and was told be Doc that I would be 'safe' by putting a sulfur block on my spine w/the medicine. I think masking, changing full body gown between patients and washing w/antiobiotic soap probably better preventive than drug. Whew! ...I lived to tell about it?!)
