ºÚÁÏÍø

The Pediatric Infectious Diseases division assists in the diagnosis and management of children with a variety of known or suspected infections as well as immune deficiencies. Children are commonly referred for outpatient evaluation of recurrent or prolonged infections, persistent fever, suspected immune deficiency, enlarged lymph nodes, pneumonia, and a wide range of childhood infections. We also treat and manage children with chronic infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus. Additionally, our providers engage in laboratory research of infectious disease mechanisms and development of vaccines to improve future options for prevention and treatment of children and adults.
