In the MMWR Recommendations and Reports, "Human Rabies
Prevention --
United States, 1999," on page 1, the fifth sentence of the first
paragraph
stated erroneously that the number of human cases reported was the
average
number reported each year rather than the number reported for the
entire
1980-1997 period. The sentence should read: "Between 1980 and 1997,
95-247
cases were reported each year among dogs, and only two human cases
were
reported in which rabies was attributable to variants of the virus
associated with indigenous dogs (2)."
