J Rheumatol 2023; doi: 10.3899/jrheum.2024-0340 In the fourth paragraph, regarding the results of other viral laboratory and imaging tests, the text should be, "Two of the 6 patients (patients 1 and 4) had severe drug-induced liver injury (DILI) with jaundice." Originally, patient 1 was diagnosed with vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) on liver biopsy. After re-reviewing the histology of the patient, the authors found that although there was a tendency toward VBDS, the patient did not meet the criteria for a VBDS diagnosis, as their bile duct involvement was < 50%. The authors apologize for this error. The error does not affect the conclusions of the study. This correction applies only to the August 15 2024 First Release. The correct text appears in the print and online issues.
