Author's correction note:

Clinical article Br Dent J 2019; 227: 875-880.

When this article was initially published, the following boxes in Table 1 were incorrect:

  • In the top row of the Dosage column, 'Doxycyline 200 mg (loading dose), 100 mg OD for 14 days' should have read 'Doxycyline 200 mg (loading dose), 100 mg OD for 21 days'

  • In the top row of the Avoid column, 'oral contraceptives less effective' should have been removed as this is no longer correct.

The authors apologise for any confusion caused.
