We offer families and their children and adolescents with chronic diseases from the immunological-rheumatological spectrum joint care by specialists under the roof of a day clinic.
In our competence centre, patients from infancy to adolescence are offered a comprehensive interdisciplinary care concept by specialists: from diagnostics to individualised therapy concepts to the transition to adult medicine.
In the day clinic, children and adolescents are cared for by specialists in paediatric immunology and rheumatology in collaboration with endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, pulmonology, cardiology, infectiology and orthopaedics. Paediatric haemato-oncologists are also part of the team. There is close cooperation with ophthalmologists and dermatologists who specialise in immunological and autoimmunological diseases.
Clarification of an immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease
If you would like to make an appointment via Kolibrie for clarification of an immunodeficiency or rheumatological disease, we need information from you beforehand. This will help us to make a quick and targeted diagnosis. Therefore, please complete our questionnaire before making an appointment with your family doctor or paediatrician and send it to the address given on it.

Few people are aware of childhood rheumatism, although around 20,000 children and adolescents in Germany are affected. Despite modern therapies, around 50% of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases continue to suffer from functional impairment into adulthood. Approximately 20% of patients with congenital blood disorders, e.g. immunodeficiencies, suffer from secondary problems after stem cell transplantation therapy, even if they have overcome their underlying disease. Patients with other forms of immunodeficiency who do not receive a stem cell transplant require a lifetime of competent medical care.
To ensure that this group of patients with rheumatological and immunological/haematological diseases do not fall into a care gap, we have developed a concept for the long-term interdisciplinary care and - where possible - transition of these patients.
With its 40 years of expertise in the care of patients with diseases of the immune system, particularly congenital immunodeficiencies, the University Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine in Ulm is ideally suited to the proposed concept. Interdisciplinary care in the inpatient area with other paediatric and non-paediatric colleagues has already been implemented. For example, there is a weekly conference for haematological-oncological-immunological specialist lectures and a weekly case conference in which conventional radiological and nuclear medical imaging are discussed on an interdisciplinary basis. Furthermore, the department is already integrated into the Ulm Centre for Rare Diseases through four focal points: congenital immunodeficiencies, autoinflammatory diseases, DNA repair defects and osteopetrosis.
The Ulm site also has the special feature that patient care and basic research in the field of haematological diseases have been closely interlinked for decades. This also makes it possible to develop individualised therapy concepts.
Kolibrie not only takes care of diagnosis and therapy, its employees are also involved in scientific research, which has already led to the first description of several genetic defects.
Kolibrie relies on donations to be able to fulfil its tasks, which are not adequately reflected in the medical remuneration systems, even better. Every donation helps us to expand our knowledge of immunological and rheumatological diseases and to provide comprehensive support for the children and young people affected.
