I see your point because there is an overlap is some symptoms of both. There are a number of researchers who claim polio symptoms did not really disappear, that they just renamed them GBS and aseptic meningitis.
So one of your basic arguments is simply the fact that we are looking for diagnostic terms such as meningitis, when it is better to just look for specific symptoms or clusters?
When they test the CSF of those with meningitis symptoms, do they always check for Hib? Is that the standard? Is Hib easy to culture?
Also, if someone is not on antibiotics and has not received a Hib vaccine, do you think it possible for Hib to appear in the CSF?
