Abstract

There is a typographical error in the International Classification of Disease Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnostic code used for palmar hyperhidrosis. The published manuscript wrongly reports that the ICD-9-CM code used for palmar hyperhidrosis was 708.8 (which indicates a diagnosis of "Other specified urticaria"), when, in actuality, the correct code 780.8 ("Hyperhidrosis") was applied. The authors regret this typographical error.
