disagree  Cilian O'Tuama: So they've been free of symptoms since the first indication? (Sorry, would have given 'neutral' if you hadn't chosen CL5.)

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: Considering all the other errors, the source text looks like a poor transcription-cum-translation. My guess is the word spoken was "injection", misheard as 'indication" - they could maybe be confused on a poor recording.
