In the Medical News & Perspectives article entitled "New Diagnostic Criteria for MS Issued" published in the October 10, 2001, issue of THE JOURNAL (2001;286:1703), the first paragraph under the heading "Many Straightforward" should have read:

"Many cases remain straightforward, with evidence of lesions separated by time and space remaining decisive. Patients fulfilling the old criteria, with two clinical attacks clearly originating from separate lesions, are still the simplest to diagnose. The criteria require that attacks continue for 24 hours and that 30 days [not 3 months, as originally printed] separate the onset of the first and the onset of the second."
