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.
In addition, the authors also noticed minor typos in the Abstract, the “Results” and the “Discussion” sections. The original article has been updated to rectify these errors.
