On page 910 of the August 1, 2008, issue, in the letter to the editor, the dose amount given in the second sentence of the third paragraph is incorrect. The published text read “45 mg/m2 intravenous MTX” instead of “45 mg/m2 folinic acid” as follows: The doses of folinic acid used (30 mg/m2 after 1 g/m2 intravenous MTX plus intrathecal MTX and 45 mg/m2 intravenous MTX after 5 g/m2 intravenous MTX plus intrathecal MTX) have caused significant neurotoxicity.

The correct sentence should read: The doses of folinic acid used (30 mg/m2 after 1 g/m2 intravenous MTX plus intrathecal MTX and 45 mg/m2 folinic acid after 5 g/m2 intravenous MTX plus intrathecal MTX) have caused significant neurotoxicity.
