Neurology

Vogt was one of the first physicians who called the " familial amaurotic idiocy ", later Vogt- Spielmeyer Stick disease ( Batten disease ), described. He published this two papers in 1905 and 1911. A milestone in the history of tuberous sclerosis sat Vogt in 1908 with the creation of a triad of symptoms, also called " Vogt triad " that allowed his lifetime for the first time a clinical diagnosis of this disease. Previously, this could only be achieved by autopsy. The Vogt triad includes sebaceum epilepsy, mental retardation and adenoma.

Balneology

For the first time Vogt devoted to the essay " Autonomic system and skin from balneologic point of view " of Balneology. He strove for greater acknowledgment of Balneology as equal science in other medical disciplines. To this end he founded in 1934 the journal " The balneologist ", which appeared under his management until 1944. 1927 Vogt had the Prussian Wohlfahtsministerium suggested the need for a central location for the spa industry in an expert opinion. However, due to the increasingly poor economy, this project could not be implemented. Only in 1935 the Central Institute in Wroclaw was realized and Vogt appointed to her leader. Vogt was founded in 1933 as the successor Eduard Dietrich chairman of the " German Society for Rheumatology combat " and the " German Society for air conditioning and bathrooms customer ".
