Okay. There seems to be agreement that the disease exists and that short-term antibiotics work in most cases. There is an opportunity to improve the level of awareness, including through GP training and raising patient awareness. In the longer term an infection could still be present or re-emerged, but it may be treated with antibiotics. It might be the right case, as we are talking about quite small numbers.
