Error in Figure
In the original publication [1] there was a mistake in Figure 1. The Kaplan–Meier survival curve was constructed by assessing the mortality of the animals at 1, 2, 3, 24, and 48 h. However, the plotting software applied a default configuration associated with the kind of graph used by which the x axis scale was changed to represent a regular time interval of 1 h (values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). The original figure is as follows:

Nevertheless, the correct values are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 24, and 48 h. The corrected Figure 1 is presented below. The authors affirm that the scientific conclusions remain unchanged. The original publication has been updated.
Figure 1.
Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of (A) B. asper and (B) L. stenophrys venoms stratified into five groups (controls and 2, 3, 4.5, and 6.75 mg venom/mL antivenom) shows a significantly better overall survival for groups receiving lower venom/antivenom dosages. Lethality rates were not different between venoms.
