In the article, "Scopolamine Poisoning Among Heroin Users --
New
York City, Newark, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, 1995 and 1996," in
the third full sentence on page 460, the phrase "severe respiratory
distress" should be "severe respiratory depression." The corrected
sentence should read, "Naloxone remains the treatment of choice for
coma and severe respiratory depression associated with possible
drug overdose."
