We have often debated the death rate for meningococcal sepsis. Using the 1997 statistics from the U.K. I think it is probable that they were above 20% in 1997. 2,660 cases and 243 deaths. But only about 30% of the cases are Meningococcal septicaemia. If 5% of the 1,862 non sepsis cases died, (and that is a high estimate for regular meningitis) deaths in that group were 93. Deaths in the 798 group at 20% would produce 160 for a total of 253 vs the reported 243. Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.
