Pediatric Infectious Disease

When your child is sick, finding the cause is the first step toward helping them feel better. Our infectious disease specialists start by carefully reviewing your child’s medical and family history and performing a thorough physical exam. When needed, we may also use lab tests or imaging to help make an accurate diagnosis.

We diagnose and treat a wide range of infectious diseases in children, including neonatal infections, pneumonia, meningitis, bone and joint infections, Kawasaki disease and HIV infections.

Our team is also committed to advancing care for children with infectious diseases. We have participated in clinical trials evaluating vaccines for illnesses such as chickenpox, pertussis and meningococcal meningitis, helping researchers study their safety and effectiveness before FDA approval.
