The original version of this Article contained errors in the Results section, under the subheading ‘Research characteristics’,


“Five studies were based on peripheral blood results13,14,15,16,17,18,19, while 2 studies were based on cerebrospinal fluid12,21. Eight studies reported the expression levels of HMBG1 in children with FS and children with fever but no FS12,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21, including 6 results based on serum and 2 results based on cerebrospinal fluid.”


now reads:


“Seven studies were based on peripheral blood results13,14,15,16,17,18,19, while 2 studies were based on cerebrospinal fluid12,20. Eight studies reported the expression levels of HMBG1 in children with FS and children with fever but no FS12,14,15,16,17,18,19,20, including 6 results based on serum and 2 results based on cerebrospinal fluid.”
