Erratum
"The address of Dr G.L. Gilbert, the author of the article "Campylobacter infection associated with septic abortion" in CDI 79/25 was wrongly given. It should have read: Royal Women's Hospital, Carlton, Vic. [end]

The entries in both the "contributing laboratories" and "clinical information" tables for the period 27.12.79 - 9.1. 80 in CDI 80/1, under virus No 1566 - "Norwalk agent - 1" reported by R.C.H. Melbourne, should be deleted, and '1' be added to the entries under 1556, "Cytomegalovirus". [end]
