Correction: Albert Kligman obituary
PHILADELPHIA — In a Feb. 21 obituary of Dr. Albert M. Kligman, The Associated Press incorrectly described the Tuskegee syphilis study. The 40-year study conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service, not Tuskegee University, did not infect black men with syphilis. Participants who had syphilis were left untreated so researchers could observe the progression of the disease. Kligman was not involved in the study.
