Nocardia asteroides pneumonia with bacteraemia

Re: “Nocardia asteroides pneumonia with bacteraemia”, a letter by Figgis PA, Glanville AR, Harkness JL, in the 4 August 2003 issue of the Journal (Med J Aust 2003; 179: 171-172). The image in Box 3 should have shown the histological appearance of a liver biopsy, not the published lung biopsy. The correct image appears in the Box.

The html and pdf versions of this article published on the eMJA website were corrected on 20 October 2003.

Core biopsy of liver, showing a granuloma within the central portal triad (arrow); the portal ducts are expanded and fibrosed with a patchy lymphocytic infiltrate (original magnification x 40; haematoxylin and eosin stain).
