        About the Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at University Hospital Erlangen

        The Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the University Hospital Erlangen offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment for children (including premature babies and newborns) and adolescents of all age groups. The department provides care in various medical fields. It includes specialized outpatient clinics, which allow offering all patients the optimal treatment depending on their specific disease and age. The key to high efficiency of therapeutic measures is excellent qualifications of the experienced department's doctors. A number of diseases are treated within the special interdisciplinary Centers of Excellence. For example, these include the Perinatal Center, the Epilepsy Center, the Cancer Center, etc. These centers have at their command the very latest diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The department's doctors are competent in conservative therapy. If the child requires surgical treatment, pediatric surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process. The specialists work in accordance with the current recommendations of the German Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ) and regularly demonstrate good treatment results. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Joachim Wölfle.

        An important focus in the department's clinical practice is on the treatment of hematological and oncological diseases in children. The department admits children and adolescents with all types of solid malignant tumors, leukemias, benign diseases of the blood and immune system. The department's doctors use an interdisciplinary approach to both diagnostics and treatment and, if necessary, involve in the therapeutic process pediatric surgeons, radiologists, specialists in nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, neurosurgery, etc. All diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations of the German Society for Paediatric Oncology and Hematology. In November 2017, the department's pediatric oncology and hematology was awarded a certificate of the German Cancer Society, which testifies to its compliance with high standards of medical care and good treatment results.

        The department also has an impeccable reputation in pediatric neurology. It offers all modern methods for the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the brain, nerve endings and muscles, as well as convulsive syndrome. Special attention is paid to the diagnostics and treatment of epilepsy: the department carries out surgical treatment of this pathology jointly with specialists in neurosurgery. In addition, children with physical and mental disabilities can be examined and receive comprehensive consultation on appropriate treatment methods.

        Another very important focus of clinical practice is pediatric nephrology.

        In addition, the department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment in such medical fields as perinatal medicine, pediatric endocrinology, diabetology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, etc. The spectrum is supplemented by rheumatic diseases, as well as congenital and acquired immune system disorders.
