Luke ChenGUEST
So I think it starts, I think the two main buckets are how sick is the patient and how severe is the eosinophilia and how persistent is it? Because you can get transient eosinophilia from a drug exposure like DRESS, or they call it DHI these days.

Luke ChenGUEST
But if it's persistent and severe and the patient is sick, then of course that warrants a much more expedited course of investigation.

Luke ChenGUEST
In Nova Scotia, when I moved here, I noticed that the reference range was less than 0.5 billion per liter.

Luke ChenGUEST
Whereas when I was a resident in BC, the reference range was up to 1 billion per liter.
