Correction to: Ventral striatal and septal area hypermetabolism on FDG-PET in herpes simplex viral encephalitis

J Neurovirol. 2020 Feb;26(1):121. doi: 10.1007/s13365-019-00789-0.

Abstract

The word "hypermetabolism" needs to be replaced by "hypometabolism" at only ONE place and NOT throughout the article.So the correction could be stated as:"In the case description section, the sentence "A repeat dedicatedbrain FDG-PET scan performed on day 9, under burst suppression,showed diffuse hypermetabolism with persistent relativehypermetabolism in the left ventral striatum and septalarea (Fig. 1b)."should read as"A repeat dedicatedbrain FDG-PET scan performed on day 9, under burst suppression,showed diffuse hypometabolism with persistent relativehypermetabolism in the left ventral striatum and septalarea (Fig. 1b)." At all other places, the word hypermetabolism is appropriate.
