There is a new typographical error in the "corrected" theophylline dosage printed on page 813 in the November 1985 (vol 76, No. 5) issue of Pediatrics concerning theophylline dosage in The Harriet Lane Handbook.
The correct dosage for infants 6-52 weeks old should be 0.2 x age in weeks + 5.0 (not 1.2 x age in weeks + 5.0).
