Erratum to: Therapeutic assessment of chloroquine–primaquine combined regimen in adult cohort of Plasmodium vivax malaria from a tertiary care hospital in southwestern India

Erratum to: Malar J (2015) 14:310 DOI 10.1186/s12936-015-0824-y

The authors of the original article [1] have recently noticed that the published paper contained some errors.

In Table 2, ‘Life table showing estimates of risk of therapeutic failure during 28 days follow-up in cohort of P. vivax monoinfection patients from southwestern India treated with chloroquine (25 mg/kg over 3 days) followed by primaquine (0.25 mg/kg daily for 14 days)’, the column “IR (interval risk)” should have read “CSP (cumulative survival probability)”. Table 2 is correctly displayed in this erratum.

Table 2 Life table showing estimates of risk of therapeutic failure during 28 days follow-up in cohort of P. vivax monoinfection patients from southwestern India treated with chloroquine (25 mg/kg over 3 days) followed by primaquine (0.25 mg/kg daily for 14 days)

Further, in the first paragraph of the ‘Discussion’ section, another case report should have been mentioned in the final sentence, to read as follows: “Nonetheless, of the published literature from India, only two case reports dating back over two decades confirms CQ failure in P. vivax despite having adequate plasma concentration of CQ [17,18].”

A new Reference 18 [2] should have been included and the subsequent references renumbered to 19–26.
