Objective:

To correct errors in author affiliation, data entry, and funding statements in the original article.

Key Findings:
  • Sputum samples showed a corrected positivity rate of 53.7% (87/162).
  • Dual-channel detection increased the positivity rate to 82.35% (14/17).
  • The overall positive rate from 894 samples was corrected to 51.90% (464/894).
  • Sputum specimens demonstrated superior combined-sequencing modalities with a positivity rate of 82.35% (14/17) compared to DNA-only (58.02%) and RNA-only (40.62%).
Interpretation:

The corrections clarify the findings and ensure accurate representation of the study's results.

Limitations:
Conclusion:

The original version of the article has been updated to reflect these corrections.
