Abstract
The authors of the above article agree that the assumption of a possible correlation between blood cocaine concentration and clinical effects should be better referenced by the following paper: “Javaid JI, Fischman MW, Schuster CR et al.: Cocaine plasma concentration: Relation to physiological and subjective effects in humans. Science 1978; 202:227–228” and not the article “Karch SB, Stephens B, Ho CH. Relating cocaine blood concentrations to toxicity: an autopsy study of 99 cases. [J Forensic Sci 1998; 43(1)41–45]” as quoted in the authors article. The confusion came from the paper by de Prost et al. (reference 4 in the authors article) that cited the paper by Karch et al. among the papers supporting the hypothesis of a positive correlation (see document). The authors apologise for citing the paper by Karch et al. in the same way.
