LETTERS Erratum: Latent Tuberculosis Infection Screening and 2-Year Outcome in Antiretroviral-Naive HIV-Infected Patients in a Low-Prevalence Country The authors would like to make a correction to their article published in the August 2015 issue of AnnalsATS. Table 4 had inverted the headings of the two sections, “QFT-G-IT Result” and “TSPOT-TB Result”; the revised table below contains the corrected headings:

Erratum: Therapeutic Alliance between the Caregivers of Critical Illness Survivors and Intensive Care Unit Clinicians The authors would like to make a correction to their article published in the November 2015 issue of AnnalsATS. Table 2 combined patients discharged to home with patients discharged to inpatient facilities; the revised table below displays these patients as separate data entries. The table also incorrectly gave n = 57; in the corrected version n = 56. Changed values are in bold. Reference 1 Huff NG, Nadig N, Ford DW, Cox CE.
