In the 15 March 2002 issue of the journal, an error appeared in the memorial tribute to Dr. Maxwell Finland (Klein JO. Maxwell Finland: a remembrance. Clin Infect Dis 2002; 34:725–9). Sentence 2 of the Pneumococcal Disease section should have appeared as follows: “The type specificity of the pneumococcus (not ‘Pneumococcus species’) had been identified and the potential value of specific antisera was being investigated.” The journal regrets this error.
