Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases Research

The Gemeinschaftspraxis für Kinder- und Jugendmedizin is evaluating a moisturizing cream to lower the incidence of atopic dermatitis in infants at high familial risk, with the goal of improving early skin barrier function.

  • Prevention of atopic dermatitis in high‑risk infants
  • Assessment of skin barrier support through topical emollients
  • Early identification of familial risk factors
  • Impact of regular skin care on chronic skin disease development

Findings from this study will help families and clinicians adopt preventive skin‑care strategies and advance pediatric dermatology care.

Bacterial Infections and Mycoses Research

Researchers at the site are monitoring the safety profile of an expanded pneumococcal vaccine in healthy infants, aiming to ensure effective protection against bacterial infections.

  • Safety evaluation of the new pneumococcal vaccine formulation
  • Monitoring immune response in early childhood
  • Prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease
  • Contribution to national immunisation guidelines

This research supports broader public‑health efforts to reduce bacterial respiratory illnesses in young children.
