Erratum Vol. 6, No. 4
Additional changes were needed in the letter, First Report of Human Granulocytic
Ehrlichiosis from
Southern Europe (Spain), by José Oteo et al. on p. 431, column 2
and p. 432, references. The corrected sentences
and references follow.
First paragraph, second sentence: “Samples were sent to Dr. Barral
at the Instituto Vasco de Investigacion
y Desarrollo Agrario (NEIKER) who kindly performed the assay using a set
of primers based on the published
sequence of the 16s rRNA of E. phagocytophila (E1: 5'-GGC ATG TAG GCG GTT
CGC TAA GTT -3' and E2: 5'-CCC
CAC ATT CAG CAC TCA TCG TTT A-3') (10).”
Second paragraph, second sentence: “The prevalence of E. phagocytophila
genogroup in the tick Ixodes ricinus
is high (24.1% of nymphs, determined by PCR) (11) in La Rioja, and evidence
of HGE infection in patients at risk
has been reported (12).”
