Erratum to: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency prevalence and genetic variants in malaria endemic areas of Colombia

Erratum to: Malar J (2016) 15:291 DOI 10.1186/s12936-016-1343-1

After publication of the original article [1], it was brought to the authors’ attention that there were errors in the final published version of Table 2. In the ‘Total’ row, the value in column 8 [Mean Hb (g/dL)] should have been ‘12.51’, not ‘23.00’; the value in column 10 [Max Hb (g/dl)] should have been ‘23.00’, not ‘23.80’. The original Table has been corrected, and is also published correctly in this erratum.
