Erratum Vol. 8, No. 1
In the article, "A
Large Outbreak of Legionnaires' Disease at a Flower Show, the Netherlands,"
by Jeroen W. Den Boer et al., errors appear in two figures and their legends.
In Figure 3, part 3a should be identified as IgM and part
3b as IgG. The correct legends are as follows:
Figure 3a. Smoothed mean geometric immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibody
titers to Legionella pneumophila of nearest 35 exhibitors in Halls 3 and
4 per 63 cm2 of exhibition area; confirmed and probable cases among exhibitors
in halls 3 and 4. 
= confirmed case in exhibitor; 
= probable case in exhibitor; Bu = bubblemat; W = whirlpool spa.
Figure 3b. Smoothed mean geometric IgG antibody titers to L. pneumophila
of 35 exhibitors nearest to whirlpool in halls 3 and 4 per 63 cm2 of exhibition
area; exhibitors ill with confirmed and probable cases in halls 3 and
4.
= confirmed case in exhibitor;
= probable case in exhibitor; Bu = bubblemat; W = whirlpool spa.
In Figure 4, parts b and c were inadvertently omitted.
The complete figure appears below. The correct legends are as follows:
Figure 4. Exhibition hall, West Frisian Flower Show, Bovenkarspel,
the Netherlands, 1999. a. Circles indicate locations in water-supply
system where water samples were taken. PE = polyethylene. b. Assessment
of risk for Legionella pneumophila infection, by distance from water-using
devices. c. Water samples taken and culture status, by distance
from water-using devices.
We regret any confusion these errors may have caused. The article is
corrected online, available at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol8no1/01-0176.htm
