Lessons from New York’s tuberculosis epidemic
In the editorial by Richard Coker (5 September, p 616) the third sentence of the fifth paragraph should have read: “The success of New York’s public health measures was highlighted by the fall in the number of children developing tuberculosis (from 146 cases in 1990 to 45 in 1997) and the fall in the total number of cases of multidrug resistant tuberculosis, such that in 1997 there were only 56 cases of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (from a peak of 441 in 1992).”
Book review
Irvine Loudon and John Horder were editors (not authors) of General Practice Under the National Health Service (reviewed 1 August, p 357). The book had a third editor (omitted in the review), Charles Webster.
