<p>To the editor,</p>
<p>Upon careful re-examination of the published article, we identified two inadvertent errors in the Results section of the Abstract. The original text incorrectly stated the direction of change for antimicrobial peptide levels between the intervention group (IG) and control group (CG).</p>
<p>We sincerely apologize for this editorial oversight. This correction does not alter the primary conclusions of the study regarding the efficacy of <italic>Bifidobacterium animalis</italic> subsp. <italic>lactis</italic> BLa80 in preventing allergic, respiratory, and gastrointestinal diseases in young children.</p>
<p>The two errors should be corrected as follows:</p>
<sec>
<title>1. First correction</title>
<p>Original (incorrect): &quot;Postintervention, the IG had significantly <bold><underline>lower</underline></bold> concentrations of LL-37 ...&quot;</p>
<p><bold>Corrected:</bold> &quot;Postintervention, the IG had significantly <bold><underline>higher</underline></bold> concentrations of LL-37...&quot;</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>2. Second correction</title>
<p>Original (incorrect): &#x0201c;Probiotic supplementation was also associated with a lower risk of URTIs (<bold><underline>IG vs. CG</underline></bold>: 40.3% vs. 20.7%; risk ratio &#x0005b;RR&#x0005d;, 0.752; 95% confidence interval &#x0005b;CI&#x0005d;, 0.653&#x02013;0.866)&#x02026;&#x0201d;</p>
<p><bold>Corrected:</bold> &#x0201c;Probiotic supplementation was also associated with a lower risk of URTIs (<bold><underline>CG vs. IG</underline></bold>: 40.3% vs. 20.7%; risk ratio &#x0005b;RR&#x0005d;, 0.752; 95% confidence interval &#x0005b;CI&#x0005d;, 0.653&#x02013;0.866)...&#x0201d;</p>
