Harriet Lane Handbook Errata

A table found in the Harriet Lane Handbook by Robert Iannone of John's Hopkins Hospital (15th edition, Mosby 1999), incorrectly states the mean GFR of infants ages 1-6 months. Table 21.6, found on page 451 of the handbook, lists the normal values of GFR. The GFR given for infants 1-6 months of age is currently stated as 7 ml/min, when it should read 77 ml/min. Please make corrections to the texts in your institution. The publisher has been notified and will update the next edition appropriately.
