A novel therapeutic cytomegalovirus DNA vaccine in allogeneic haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial. Lancet Infect Dis 2012; 12: 290–99. In figure 2, the p values should have been 0·232 in part A, 0·204 in part B, and 0·749 in part C. The corresponding text in paragraph 9 in the Results section should have read “The number of phosphoprotein 65 interferon-γ-producing T cells was increased, although not significantly in a repeated-measurements ANOVA, in the vaccine group compared with the placebo group at all timepoints after transplantation (figure 2).”; and the remainder of the paragraph has been deleted. The corresponding text in the third paragraph of the Discussion section should have read “In our study, vaccine seemed to enhance phosphoprotein 65 cellular immune responses…”.

Lancet Infectious Diseases 2012; 12: 643–46. In the opening paragraph of the Introduction the definition should have read “Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis is a form of MDR disease that is even more difficult to treat, caused by bacteria that are resistant to at least rifampicin and isoniazid, any fluoroquinolone, and one of three second-line antituberculosis injectable drugs (amikacin, kanamycin, and capreomycin).” The online version was corrected on Dec 17, 2012.

The online version was corrected on Dec 17, 2012, the print version is correct.
