Erratum to: Critical care management and outcome of severe Pneumocystis pneumonia in patients with and without HIV infection

The Original Article was published on 25 January 2008

Following the publication of our article [1], it has been noted that there were two errors in the paragraph under the Results section with the sub-heading P. jiroveci pneumonia diagnosis.

The percentage given for positive staining in HIV-negative cases should read 58%, and should be 86% for HIV-positive cases. This paragraph should read:

"Staining performed on broncho-alveolar lavage specimens was positive in 58% of HIV-negative cases and in 86% of HIV-positive cases (P = 0.46) (Table 2)."

This paragraph should therefore appear as shown in this correction.
