- Conditions
- Dermatitis, Allergic ContactInfectious Diseases
- Registration Number
- NCT04182425
- Lead Sponsor
- Bledina
- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the incidence of allergic manifestations (the first of which is atopic dermatitis) and infectious diseases in children fed with an infant formula under real conditions of use.
- Detailed Description
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the cumulative incidence of atopic dermatitis in healthy infants at risk for dysbiosis at 12 months of age and to identify factors associated with the presence of atopic dermatitis.
