We regret to announce that there was a serious error in the last full paragraph on page 8 of the above mentioned paper [Reference Sunil-Chandra, Clement, Maes, De Silva, Van Esbroeck and Van Ranst1]

The incorrect sentence

That a double (separate or even concomitant) leptospirosis- hantavirus infection is a rarity in Sri Lanka is furthermore confirmed again in the retrospective study, giving 6/23 or 26·0% incidence.

Should have read

That a double (separate or even concomitant) leptospirosis-hantavirus infection is all but a rarity in Sri Lanka is furthermore confirmed again in the retrospective study, giving 6/23 or 26·0% incidence.

Also, on two occasions leptospirosis is given as leptosirosis.

The publishers apologise for these errors.
