Correction Issued for Lancet Global Health Article on Shigella Surveillance
The Lancet Global Health has issued a formal correction to a research article titled "The incidence and antimicrobial resistance of Shigella-attributable diarrhoea in young children in low-income and middle-income countries from the multicountry Enterics for Global Health (EFGH) Shigella Surveillance Study." The article, authored by Yousafzai MT, Cornick J, Penataro Yori P, and colleagues, was published online on March 11, 2026. The correction specifically addresses an error in Figure 2C of the study. In the colour key associated with this figure, the fourth label from the left was incorrectly displayed. The journal confirms that this label should have read "2a" instead of the previously published text. This prospective, facility-based hybrid surveillance study focuses on the critical public health issues of Shigella incidence and antimicrobial resistance among young children in low-income and middle-income countries. The correction ensures the accuracy of the data visualization presented in the EFGH Shigella Surveillance Study, maintaining the integrity of the scientific record regarding enteric diseases in vulnerable populations.
