In the published article, S Afr Fam Pract (2004). 2023;65(1), a5806. https://doi.org/10.4102/safp.v65i1.5806, there was an error in Figure 1, Allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma guidelines on allergic rhinitis categorisation in untreated patients.

A heading in Figure 1 shows the word Persistent, which is incorrect. The heading should read Moderate to Severe.

The publisher apologises for this error. The correction does not change the study's findings of significance or overall interpretation of the study's results or the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
