In the abstract on "Blood Cultures in the Evaluation of the Young Febrile Child" published in the March 1990 issue of Pediatrics in Review, there is a misprint in the second paragraph of the abstract. The final sentence of that paragraph should read as follows: "If only 10% of these do not resolve spontaneously, the average pediatrician will see only one patient in 5 years who has metastatic disease from missed or untreated occult bacteremia. Baron et al (Pediatr Infect Dis J. 1989;8:2) reported on the experience of a two-physician group, who treated 23 patients with occult bacteremia during a period of approximately 10 years."
