EXPRESSION OF CONCERN: Y. Chetouane , G. Dubourg , P. Gallian , C. Flaudrops , J. Chiaroni , E. Chabrière , D. Raoult , and L. Camoin-Jau , "Rapid Identification of Microorganisms from Platelet Concentrates by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry after Short-Term Incubation on Liquid Medium," Transfusion 58, no. 3 (2018): 766-773, https://doi.org/10.1111/trf.14430. This Expression of Concern is for the above article, published online on 28 November 2017 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been issued by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Richard M. Kaufman; the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB); and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The Expression of Concern has been agreed due to questions raised about the study's adherence to French legal and ethical requirements for research involving human subjects. The investigation into these concerns is ongoing. Therefore, the journal has decided to issue an Expression of Concern to inform and alert readers.
