Abstract
T. A. Tiiti, V. V. Nkwinika, T. L. Mashishi, K. A. Molefi, T. L. Msibi, M. Khaba, J. Bogers, and R.L. Lebelo, “Poor Performance of Applicator Tampon-Based Self-Collection for Liquid-Based Cytology Among Women Attending a Tertiary Hospital in South Africa,” Diagnostic Cytopathology 53 (2025): 150–160, https://doi.org/10.1002/dc.25429.
The authors identified an oversight regarding the staining method used for cytology slides. The manuscript incorrectly states that slides were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), whereas the correct staining method was Papanicolaou (Pap) stain.
In the abstract, methods section, lines 3–4 (page 1/11)
Current Statement: LBC slides were prepared using the ThinPrep 5000 processor and manually stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E).
Correct to: LBC slides were prepared using the ThinPrep 5000 processor and manually stained with Papanicolaou (Pap) stain.
Section 4: LBC lines 1–6 (Page 3/11)
Current Statement: The automated ThinPrep 5000 processor (Hologic Inc.) processed LBC samples following the manufacturer's instructions. All slides were manually stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stains at the Department of Anatomical Pathology, National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University.
Correct to: The automated ThinPrep 5000 processor (Hologic Inc.) processed LBC samples following the manufacturer's instructions. All slides were manually stained using Papanicolaou (Pap) stains at the Department of Anatomical Pathology, National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University.
