Erratum
House dust endotoxin and sensitization in children
To the Editor:
We wish to make a correction to our article (1). Due to an editorial error, the legend of Figure 2
incorrectly states that filled circles indicate living in the same home since birth and open circles indicate not living in the same home since birth. Instead, the legend should read "Filled circles indicate not living in the same home since birth and open circles indicate living in the same home since birth." We have reproduced the figure and corrected legend below.

Figure 2. Adjusted* logistic regression results describing the association between allergen-specific sensitization (CAP-class 2) and ln-transformed living-room floor endotoxin (expressed per m2) related to occupancy. Results are presented as odds ratios associated with a difference of two times GSD in exposure. *Adjusted for place of residence, sex, age group, parental education, parental atopy, and pet ownership (dog and/or cat). Filled circles indicate not living in the same home since birth and open circles indicate living in the same home since birth.
