in den starken

English translation: in the US ("in den Staaten")

Medical - Medical: Health Care / CSF puncture, spinal tap
German term or phrase: in den starken
In a German medical report of a multiple sclerosis patient there appears the following:
"Die Diagnose stütze sich auf wiederholte MRT Untersuchungen, eine Liquorpunktion mit dem Nachweis von oligoklonalen Banden sei in den starken durchgeführt worden."

I would appreciate help on the meaning "in den starken" here. Or could it possible be a typo or could text be missing?

Thanks,
Stephen

Explanation:
see discussion. The patient informed the doctor that he/she had this procedure done in the US; that's why "sei" is used.

Thanks, Susanne. With the context and the use of the "sei", as you pointed out, I think you are right, it is a typo. error.
