Sure. I have heard very little so far that contradicts previous statements. There might be a different emphasis, but we are accepting short and long-term possibilities, the potential for long-term infection and that treatment with antibiotics can work on long-term infections. We are also accepting that the cause might be something else entirely. What about long-term treatment with antibiotics, as opposed to the course of treatment of three to four weeks that has been mentioned? It was presented to the committee as one of the approaches used when it was believed there was a long-term infection.
