Antilymphoblastic globulin in renal transplant patients: no allergic reactions: a correction

Abstract

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —The University of Minnesota wishes to correct the public record. An article appearing in the October 11, 1976, issue of<i>JAMA</i>entitled "Antilymphoblastic Globulin in Renal Transplant Patients: No Allergic Reactions"¹incorrectly referred to Richard Condie as Richard Condie, PhD. Mr Condie did not possess, and to our best knowledge does not possess, a PhD degree or any degree beyond the baccalaureate. A recent federal indictment has named Mr Condie and others regarding unreported deaths of patients associated with administration of antilymphoblast globulin.²I can say that none of the unreported deaths occurred in the 50 patients reported in the<i>JAMA</i>article. <i>This letter was shown to Mr Condie, who declined to reply. At the time this request was made, Dr Chou was interim dean of the University of Minnesota Medical School</i>.—Ed.
