Abstract
We have received Dr Peter Flanagan's comments on our above article. His calculations for sensitivity and specificity are correct. It was an inadvertent error that data from Table 2 does not correlate with the data in Table 3. The sensitivity of Chemstrip LN is high while the specificity is low, which is in accordance with the 95% negative predictive value that we reported. We want to thank Dr Flanagan for bringing this discrepancy to our attention and to those of our readers.
