Correction of: “Michael Mogg,Hsiao-Hsuan Wang,Adam Baker,Zakary Derouen,Jennifer Borski,and William E. Grant. Increased Incidence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infections in the United States,2012 Through 2016. Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases. Jul 2020. 547–550.” doi: 10.1089/Vbz.2019.2595

In this article, some errors were identified after the review process 1.

In Abstract on page 547, one sentence reads as the following: “The demographic group most commonly infected was White males between the ages of 40 and 64.”

Instead, it should read: “The demographic groups most commonly infected were White persons, persons between 40 and 64 years of age, and males.” 2.

In Section of “National Surveillance Systems” on page 548, we wish to remove any mention of CRF and clinical data. Suggested changes are due to the fact that case report form data (CRF) was not used in the analysis and should not be listed.

Therefore, we suggest clarification to include the following statement: “Individual states and territory health departments use the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) to report surveillance data to CDC. Demographic data, including county and state of residence, sex, ethnicity, and race, are reported through NNDSS. Cases are reported as probable or confirmed by state and local health departments. Data for this study were accessed through publicly available Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Annual Tables (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwr_nd/index.html). Incidence was calculated as the number of infections per million persons per year.”

3. On page 548, the Sex of Table 1 reads as the following:

OPEN IN VIEWER

Variable	Category	No. of cases	IRs
Sex	Male	3737	4.96
	Female	3015	3.94
	Unknown	34	—

Corrections the counts and incidence as following.

OPEN IN VIEWER

Variable	Category	No. of cases	Incidence
Sex	Male	4054	5.40
	Female	2698	3.50
	Unknown	34	—

4.

On page 548, the footnote of Table 1 reads as the following: “The number of incidence cases is from the Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System, and the cases per million persons at risk (IRs) are calculated based on data from the Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System and the U.S. Census Bureau.”

Instead, this sentence should be revised as follows: “The number of incident cases is from the Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System, and the cases per million persons at risk (Incidence) are calculated based on data from the Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System.” 5.

On page 549, the figure legend of Figure 2 reads as the following: “Spatial (A) and temporal (B) patterns of reported cases of E. chaffeensis infections in the United States from 2012 through 2016 (n = 4563).”

Corrections should be made to read: “Spatial (A) and temporal (B) patterns of reported cases of E. chaffeensis infections in the United States from 2012 through 2016 (n = 6786).” 6.

In lines 1–4 of page 549, the sentence reads as the following: “The primary demographic group affected by E. chaffeensis infection in the United States was elderly white males (Table 1). More infections were reported in males (55.1%; IRs = 4.96) than in females (44.4%; IRs = 3.94)…”

Corrections should be made to read: “The primary demographic groups affected by E. chaffeensis infection in the United States were White persons, persons between 40 and 64 years of age, and males (Table 1). More infections were reported in males (59.7%; Incidence = 5.40) than in females (39.8%; Incidence = 3.50)…”
