Diseases [C] – Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases [C17]

At the Kinderaerztliche Gemeinschaftspraxis Wolfsburg, research focuses on preventing atopic dermatitis in infants who have a strong family history of the condition. The study evaluates whether regular use of a moisturizing skin cream can reduce disease onset during the first six months of life.

  • Prevention strategies for high‑risk infants
  • Assessment of moisturizers on skin barrier function
  • Early identification of atopic dermatitis signs

With two investigators overseeing the trial, the site contributes valuable data on childhood skin health, supporting families and clinicians in early intervention.

Diseases [C] – Bacterial Infections and Mycoses [C01]

The practice also conducts a vaccine study aimed at confirming the immunogenicity and safety of a conjugate vaccine against meningococcal groups A, C, W and Y in healthy infants and toddlers. The trial compares antibody responses with an established product to ensure comparable protection.

  • Evaluation of meningococcal vaccine response in early childhood
  • Comparison of new conjugate vaccine with existing standard
  • Monitoring safety and seroresponse in infants and toddlers

Through this work, the Wolfsburg practice helps safeguard children against serious bacterial infections while collaborating with vaccine manufacturers and public health agencies.
