Erratum to: An optimised age-based dosing regimen for single low-dose primaquine for blocking malaria transmission in Cambodia [BMC Medicine, 14, (2016) (171)], 10.1186/s12916-016-0701-8

Abstract

After publication of the original article [1], it came to the authors' attention that there was an error in the PQ pharmacokinetics sub-section of the Background section. The following sentence is affected: "There is no PK interaction between PQ and either artesunate-pyronaridine [76] or mefloquine [69, 77]; no PK interaction data exist for PQ and artemetherlumefantrine (AL)." This sentence should have read as follows: "AS pyronaridine increased PQ exposure by 15% without affecting significantly cPQ exposure [76]. There is no PK interaction between PQ and mefloquine [69, 77]; no PK interaction data exist for PQ and artemetherlumefantrine (AL).".
