The original published version of the above article contained errors in Key Points and Conclusion sections. The authors requested that these be noted [Bold text used to highlight problem area]. Key Points section it should read as follows: • SLE patients can reach a very prolonged state of remission, free of treatment, including antimalarials, for at least 10 years. • Thrombocytopenia and alopecia were more commonly present and an inflammatory rash was less frequent in patients that achieved remission. • Notwithstanding the presence of serological markers of activity, some patients achieved 10 years in remission free of treatment.

Instead of: • SLE patients can reach a very prolonged state of remission, free of treatment, including antimalarials, for at least ten years. • Venous thromboembolism and thrombocytopenia are commonly present in patients that achieved remission. • The presence of serological markers of activity, even after 10 years in remission, is a risk factor for relapse. Conclusions it should read as follows: Although patients with SLE who achieve prolonged remission have some different characteristics at baseline compared with PtAct, it‘s not possible to identify a characteristic phenotype for the former. Achieving a state of prolonged remission or low disease activity should always be the goal in patients with SLE.
