    In the October 2013 article "Pneumonia" (Gereige, RS, Laufer, PM. Pediatr Rev. 2013;34(10):438-456), ampicillin dosing in the first paragraph of "Empiric Therapy" should read, "If this dose is desired, a combination of ampicillin-sulbactam at 300 mg/kg daily (dosing ampicillin at 200 mg/kg daily) and regular ampicillin at 100 to 200 mg/kg daily is a recommended regimen."

    The online version of the article was resupplied with correct dosage; a correction to the print version of the article will appear in a future issue of Pediatrics in Review. The journal regrets this error.
