In the article titled, “Clinical Efficacy of Oral Ganciclovir for Prophylaxis and Treatment of Recurrent Herpes Simplex Keratitis” published in pages 46-50, issue 1, vol. 128 of Chinese Medical Journal[1], the affiliation of the second author “Linnong Wang” and third author “Xinjun Ma” is written incorrectly as “Department of Ophthalmology, Nanjing First People's Hospital, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210006, China” instead of “Department of Ophthalmology, Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210006, China”.In the article text, the words “Nanjing First People's Hospital” under the section “Methods” and sub-section “Subjects” are incorrect instead it should read as “Nanjing First Hospital”.These have now been corrected and reposted online.
