[Evaluation of prognosis in purulent meningitis-myelitis based on the Glasgow Coma Scale].
We presented data from the investigation of the usefulness of the Glasgow Coma Scale in predicting the outcome of bacterial meningitis. Patients who aggregated high Glasgow Coma Scale scores had a good prognosis, whereas those patients with low scores had a very poor prognosis, inspite of this limitation the Glasgow Coma Scale seems to be a valuable supplement to the physical examination of patients with bacterial meningitis and may help in predicting the outcome of the disease.
