Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication. **A word needs to be replaced in the sentence**.

A correction has been made to **3. Discussion**, **Paragraph 8**:

**There are some limitations that must be noted. First, owing to the retrospective nature of our study, the study evaluated the diagnostic value of the biomarkers rather than their predictive value for VIKI. Secondly, this study identified candidate serum biomarkers that have potential for the diagnosis of VIKI, but the current design could not show their specificity for VIKI. Indeed, we are conducting an additional experiment with a control group consisting of patients with AKI induced by causes other than vancomycin to identify the specificity of the biomarkers for VIKI. Lastly, this research was a single-center study with a limited number of subjects with heterogeneous baseline conditions, preventing our results from being free of bias. Large-scale, multi-center studies would be required to establish the credibility of our findings.**
