Pediatric Infectious Disease
We specialize in diseases and syndromes that attack or compromise the immune system of infants, children and teens, including persistent infections that don't respond to conventional antibiotic treatments. We also consult on patients with complex, undiagnosed diseases and fevers of unknown origin, and conduct research into new methods and treatments of infectious diseases.
Diagnosis begins with a detailed review of your child's medical and family history and a thorough physical exam. Lab tests and imaging techniques may also be necessary.
Among the common infectious diseases we diagnose and treat are neonatal infections, pneumonia, meningitis, bone and joint infections, Kawasaki disease and HIV infections.
We also pursue new methods and medicines for the treatment of infectious diseases. We have participated in a number of vaccine trials, including chickenpox, pertussis and meningococcal meningitis, to test their safety and effectiveness before they are recommended for FDA approval.
