Infectious Diseases

Every day, children are exposed to a variety of germs that may cause infectious diseases. Preventing infectious diseases today is much easier than in the past, thanks to improved hygiene practices, better vaccines and advances in medical technology.

However, there are still common and unusual infections that children contract. Some of these can be difficult to diagnose or difficult to treat. Our doctors provide physician-to-physician consultation services for these types of infectious diseases, including:

• Primary infectious diseases such as blood stream infections, pneumonia and meningitis
• Recurrent or prolonged infections
• Infections in high-risk patients, including those with compromised immune systems, cancer, prematurity and children with pulmonary, cardiac or renal disease
• Infections in children who have traveled abroad and internationally adopted children.

Patients are seen by doctor referral only.
