Diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease by measurement of S100 protein in serum: prospective case-control study

An authors' error occurred in this paper by Markus Otto and colleagues (21 February, pp 577-82). In table 4 the median valuesof serum concentrations of S100 protein were incorrect for somediagnoses. For the diagnosis of multi-infarct dementia the medianvalue should have been 104 [not 393]; the median value for progressivedementia should have been 191 [not 529]; the median for amyotrophiclateral sclerosis should have been 56 [not 179]; and the medianfor chronic encephalopathy should have been 77 [not 47].
