5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Seven-month study in pediatric patients (2-11 years) with moderate to severe AD who were considered to benefit from vaccination to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitides serogroup C.
Detailed Description
At the week 1 visit, the patients were vaccinated with a protein-conjugated vaccine against meningitis. All patients received a challenge at the month 6 visit with a low dose of meningo polysaccharide vaccine. A control group of healthy subjects (not suffering from atopic dermatitis) received only the vaccination and the challenge dose.
