You got me all excited for nothing. [Frown]

ERRATUM

An error appeared in an article published in the 1 November 2006 issue of the journal (Wormser GP, Dattwyler RJ, Shapiro ED, Halperin JJ, Steere AC, Klempner MS, Krause PJ, Bakken JS, Strle F, Stanek G, Bockenstedt L, Fish D, Dumler JS, Nadelman RB.

The clinical assessment, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and babesiosis: clinical practice guidelines by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

Clin Infect Dis 2007; 43:1089-134).

Throughout the article, the PR interval should be given as 300 milliseconds (not 30 milliseconds).

The authors regret this error.

It was definitely a good try though! [Big Grin]

Maybe next time. [group hug]

I expected more serious errors ... but, well, at least we got excited for a few minutes.

It was fun, however briefly, I have to admit it. [Roll Eyes]
