Note that the CSF leukocyte unit of measurement is the value in the table × 106.

b

The HTS score is a scoring system that comprehensively evaluates patients based on factors such as coma, hypothermia, convulsions, shock, age, glucose amount, and visit time. The higher the score, the more serious the patient's disease state.
