Following publication of the original article [1], the author identified two errors in the Results section of the Abstract and in Table 2.

The sentence currently reads:

“ The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly lower in the IVIg group compared to the control group (6 [20.0%] vs. 14 [48.3%], respectively; P = 0.022). “.

The sentence should read:

“ The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly lower in the IVIg group compared to the control group (6 [20.0%] vs. 14 [48.3%], respectively; P = 0.025). “.

Furthermore, the correct Table 2 is given below.

Table 2 The relationship between study variables and mortality of patients with severe COVID-19

The original article [1] has been corrected.
