Arch Surg. 2000;135:197.

In the article by Weiss et al titled "Six Years of Surgical Wound Infection Surveillance at a Tertiary Care Center: Review of the Microbiologic and Epidemiological Aspects of 20,007 Wounds," published in the October issue of the ARCHIVES (1999;134:1041-1048), errors appeared in Figures 1 and 3. In Figure 1 on page 1043, the y-axis was incorrectly labeled. The y-axis label should have read "No. of Patients." In Figure 3 on page 1045, errors occurred in the reproduction of shaded pie chart components. Figure 3 is reprinted correctly here. The journal regrets the errors.
