In the article by Rajvanshi et al entitled “Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction after gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) therapy,” which appeared in the April 1, 2002, issue ofBlood (Volume 99:2310-2314), the last sentence in the first paragraph of “Introduction” incorrectly states the order of administration of gemtuzumab ozogamicin. The sentence should read, “In patients administered gemtuzumab ozogamicin followed by myeloablative therapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation, the reported frequency of posttransplantation clinical illness resembling veno-occlusive disease of the liver was 6 of 38 (16%) and included 3 fatalities (Sievers et al7 and unpublished observations [March 2001], Wyeth-Ayerst Pharmaceuticals).”
