Correction: Sebro et al. Implementation of Antigen-Based Diagnostic Assays for Detection of Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis among Patients with Advanced HIV in Trinidad and Tobago: A Cross-Sectional Study. J. Fungi 2024, 10, 695

Authorship Correction

In the original publication [1], there was an oversight in recognizing the contributions of Robert Jeffrey Edwards and Patrick Eberechi Akpaka, who were incorrectly included in the acknowledgment section of the manuscript. The list of authors and their affiliations should now read as follows:

• Ayanna Sebro ¹, Jonathan Edwards ², Omar Sued ^3,†, Leon-Omari Lavia ², Tricia Elder ², Robert Jeffrey Edwards ⁴, Patrick Eberechi Akpaka ⁵, Nadia Ram-Bhola ², Roanna Morton-Williams Bynoe ², Yanink Caro-Vega ⁶, Isshad John ² and Freddy Perez ^3,7,*^,†

Affiliation Correction

With the inclusion of the two authors (Robert Jeffrey Edwards and Patrick Eberechi Akpaka), their affiliations need to be included.

Additionally, in the original publication [1], a legal statement for the two authors affiliated with the Pan American Health Organization (Omar Sued and Freddy Perez) was missing, some affiliations also need to be adjusted and improved. This now needs to read as follows:

Acknowledgement Correction

In the original publication [1], we acknowledged Robert Jeffrey Edwards and Patrick Eberechi Akpaka for their support in protocol development, oversight and comments to draft versions of the manuscript. This statement should be removed as they have now been included in the authorship. This section should now read as follows:

• Acknowledgments: We would like to acknowledge the laboratory and clinical teams across all study sites, including the study team coordinators and surveillance nurses for their continuous support. Special thanks are due to Diego Caceres (IMMY Diagnostics), Alex Jordan (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and Narda Medina (Asociación de Salud Integral, Guatemala) for their invaluable contributions during the implementation phase of the study. Additionally, we are grateful to the HIV/AIDS Coordinating Unit (HACU), Ministry of Health, Trinidad and Tobago; the National AIDS Coordinating Committee Secretariat (NACC) of Trinidad and Tobago; the Department of Para-Clinical Sciences of the University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus; the Trinidad Public Health Laboratory; the Thoracic Medical Team of the Ministry of Health, Trinidad and Tobago, for their continuous support throughout this study.
