Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in **Table 3** as published. **The error made was that Table 4 was inserted twice as Table 3 and Table 4, while Table 3 was omitted. Table 3 was supposed to present factors associated with knowledge about the existence and definition of asymptomatic malaria among HCWs. While Table 4 presents the factors associated with knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of asymptomatic malaria among HCWs**. The corrected **Table 3** appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
