CMAJ has been made aware of errors that occurred in an article published Nov. 29, 2021.1

Figure 1 was erroneously described in text and in the figure caption. In the third paragraph, the sentence “Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed moderate hydrocephalus and small foci of enhancement in the right temporal and left occipital lobes (Figure 1)” has been replaced with “Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed high signal intensity throughout the convexity sulci and basal cisterns, compatible with meningitis (Figure 1).”

Accordingly, the new figure caption is as follows: “Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain of a 37-year-old woman with tuberculous meningitis, obtained on day 5 of hospital admission. This axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image at the level of the basal cisterns and temporal lobes shows high signal intensity throughout the convexity sulci and basal cisterns, compatible with meningitis. Both temporal horns of the lateral ventricles are dilated, with abnormal signal intensity surrounding them, compatible with hydrocephalus and transependymal passage of cerebrospinal fluid. The initial MRI report commented on possible parenchymal abnormality in the right temporal lobe (yellow arrow), which was thought to be compatible with encephalitis. Upon review of this image, however, the MRI findings are most compatible with meningitis.”

Figure 2 has also changed, such that the octagons are placed exactly when drugs were stopped in response to adverse events.

Finally, the acknowledgement section has been updated to include an acknowledgement to Dr. Ryan Rebello for his assistance with the Figure 1 caption.

These errors have been corrected at cmaj.ca.
