The title of this article was erroneously given as: “Evaluation of a novel aspergillus IgG lateral flow assay for the diagnosis of non-neutropenic patients with acute and subacute invasive aspergillosis”. The correct title of the article is “Evaluation of a novel Aspergillus IgG lateral flow assay for the diagnosis of non-neutropenic patients with acute and subacute invasive aspergillosis”.
“Zhu, R. Z., Cheng, J., Luo, Y., Qiu, W., Huang, J., Jiang, Y., et al. (2023b). Diagnostic
laboratory features and performance of an aspergillus IgG lateral flow assay in a chronic
pulmonary aspergillosis cohort. Microbiol. Spectr. 11, e0026423. doi: 10.1128/
spectrum.00264-23]”was not cited in the article. The citation has now been inserted in the page 10, section 4 Discussion, paragraph 5 and should read:
“Zhu, 2023b”
In the Abstract, The mistake was the non-uniform writing of “vs.”. This has been corrected to read: “The level of plasma Aspergillus IgG LFA in the IA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (190.5 AU/mL vs 50.3 AU/mL, P < 0.001)”
1. Page 06, section 3 Results, sub-section 3.3, paragraph 2
The mistake was the non-uniform writing of “vs.”.
“Compared to the Aspergillus IgG ELISA with a cut-off value of 80 AU/mL, the Aspergillus IgG LFA had equivalent sensitivity (65.1% vs. 69.8% for sensitivity, P = 0.549), but significantly higher specificity (97.5% vs. 87.5% for specificity, P = 0.021)(Table 5).”
The correct statement is “vs”.

2. Page 06, section 3 Results, sub-section 3.4
The mistakes were the non-uniform writings of “vs.” and “to”.
“The ROC curves of Aspergillus IgG LFA had no significant differences between patients with acute and subacute IA (AUC0.812[95% CI: 0.705, 0.919] vs 0.874 [95% CI: 0.780 to 0.967], P =0.401)(Figure 3D). The sensitivities, PPVs and NPVs of the Aspergillus IgG LFA were equivalent between patients with acute and subacute IA (57.6% vs. 73.3% for sensitivity, P = 0.190; 90.5% vs. 91.7% for PPV, P = 1.000; 84.8% vs. 90.7% for NPV, P =0.231)(Table 5).”
The correct statements are “vs” and “,”.

3. Page 09, section 4 Discussion, paragraph 2
The mistake was the wrong writing of “65.1%”.
“In this study, the sensitivity and specificity of the BALF GM were 65.1% and 90.0%, respectively (Table 6).”
The correct statement is “65.0%”.
“In this study, the sensitivity and specificity of the BALF GM were 65.0% and 90.0%, respectively (Table 6).”
4. Page 09, section 4 Discussion, paragraph 2
The mistakes were the non-uniform writings of “vs.” and “P”.
“A meta-analysis showed that PCR had higher sensitivity for the diagnosis of IA in non-neutropenic patients such as COPD, solid tumors and autoimmune diseases with prolonged corticosteroid therapy, compared to those with HM and/or HSCT/SOT (88% vs. 68%, P < 0.001) (Han et al., 2023).”
