Emergence of a Novel Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Virus in Humans (Original Article, N Engl J Med 2009:360;2605 - 2615) (10.1056/NEJMoa0903810; published on May 7, 2009, at NEJM.org). In the second paragraph of the Demographic and Clinical Features subsection of Results, the description of the 33-year-old woman in the sentence beginning “Nine patients (41%)” should have read, “a 33-year-old woman who was 35 weeks pregnant and who had been in relatively good health with a history of mild asthma and psoriasis that were not being treated with medications.” The legend for Figure 2 should have ended with the following sentence: “One case involving a resident of Kentucky occurred in Georgia.” In the second paragraph of the Discussion section, the fourth sentence should have read, “It is also possible that elderly persons may have some level of cross-protection against S-OIV infection from preexisting antibodies against other influenza A (H1N1) viruses, as suggested by serologic studies of the 1976 swine influenza vaccine.^5,6” The article has been corrected, an acknowledgment has been added, and the Appendix has been replaced at NEJM.org.
