In the article, "Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis -- New York,
1995," references 4,5, and 3 at the end of the second and third
sentences of the Editorial Note on page 594 should be renumbered
(3,4) and (5), respectively; however, the numbers were attributed
to the correct references in the list on the following page.
The fourth and new fifth sentences of the first paragraph of
the Editorial Note should read: "E. chaffeensis has most commonly
been identified in the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum) (6)."
HGE patients reported having been bitten by "deer ticks" and "wood
ticks" (possibly I. scapularis and Dermacentor variabilis,
respectively) (2)." The new reference 6 is: Anderson BE, Sims KG,
Olson JG, et al. Amblyomma americanum: a potential vector of human
ehrlichiosis. Am J Trop Med Hyg 1993;49:239-44.
