In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The end date was not “January 31, 2014”, it should be corrected to “January 31, 2024”; and in Table 1 , Under the “Age” column, the category “01” lacks a hyphen. This should be revised to “0-1” for consistency with standard notation. The corrected Table 1 and its caption appear below.
Table 1.
The PCR results of 13 pathogens were summarized from January 31, 2018 to January 31, 2024.

In the published article, there was an error. The bacterial name “Listeria monocytogenes (abbreviated as LP)” is incorrect. It should be revised to “Legionella pneumophila (LP).”
A correction has been made to Abstract, Results:, From line 81 to line 86. This sentence previously stated:
“A variety of ARIs pathogens, including Influenza A (Flu A), Influenza B (Flu B), Adenovirus (ADV), Rhinovirus (RhV), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), as well as co-infecting bacterial such as Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE), Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP), Haemophilus influenzae (HI), and Listeria monocytogenes (LP), reached a peak positive rate at the age of 3.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“A variety of ARIs pathogens, including Influenza A (Flu A), Influenza B (Flu B), Adenovirus (ADV), Rhinovirus (RhV), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), as well as co-infecting bacterial such as Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE), Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP), Haemophilus influenzae (HI), and Legionella pneumophila (LP), reached a peak positive rate at the age of 3.”
