Don't know about BOS, but leukocyte esterase is just a test for an enzyme that might indicate a uti...so in my experience, it's either a positive or negative result. If he gives you actual numbers or ranges (10-20), then he's talking about actual white blood cells (leukocytes).

At least that's my understanding.

Hope that helps!

Answer
Subject: Answer

There is NO hyphen in followup. It is either one word or two words.

Verb is follow up. (The patient will follow up with me).

Noun is followup. (The patient will be seen in followup in 1 week).

Hope that helps! Never use a hyphen with followup.
