Erratum: Vol. 45, No. 22

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."
