Hsu LL. Hydroxyurea makes inflammation “just right”? Blood. 2012;119(8):1796-1798.

On page 1797 in the 23 February 2012 issue, there is an error in the text. The first sentence of the seventh paragraph of the article reads, “Their final experiment used clinical SCD blood samples obtained during the Pediatric Hydroxyurea Phase III Clinical (BABY HUG) randomized trial.⁷” The sentence should have read, “Their final experiment used clinical SCD blood samples obtained during the pediatric Hydroxyurea Study of Long-Term Effects (HUSTLE, NCT00305175).⁷”

Furthermore, on page 1798, the citation at the end of the corrected sentence is incorrect in “References.” Reference 7 reads, “Wang WC, Ware RE, Miller ST, et al. Hydroxycarbamide in very young children with sickle-cell anaemia: a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial (BABY HUG). Lancet. 2011;377(9778):1663-1672.” Reference 7 should have read, “Flanagan JM, Steward S, Howard TA, et al. Hydroxycarbamide alters erythroid gene expression in children with sickle cell anaemia. Br J Haematol. 2012;157(2):240-248.”
