Erratum

We regret that an error occurred on page 840 of the November 2011 SAMJ, in the guideline 'Recommendations for the management of adult chronic myeloid leukaemia in South Africa'. In the third line of the abstract, as the result of a typographical error, the chromosomal translocation was stated as being between the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 12, when in fact it is chromosomes 9 and 22. The online guideline was corrected on 23 November 2011.

The full reference is: V J Louw, L Dreosti, P Ruff, V Jogessar, D Moodley, N Novitzky, M Patel, A Schmidt, P Willem. Recommendations for the management of adult chronic myeloid leukaemia in South Africa. S Afr Med J 2011;101:840-846.
