Infectious Disease

Providing care for acute and chronic childhood infections 

Our infectious diseases specialists provide consults and screenings for the diagnosis of acute and chronic infections, ranging from common childhood illnesses, to complex viral infections and serious bacterial or fungal infections. We see diseases associated with foreign travel, and infections in children undergoing treatment for cancer and blood-borne diseases.

We work closely with your child’s pediatrician, intensive care doctors, neonatologists and other specialists to provide comprehensive, quality care for conditions such as:

• Skin infections (including MRSA)
• Blood infections
• Bone infections
• Meningitis
• Lyme Disease
• Antibiotic-resistant and recurrent infections
• HIV/AIDS

• Tuberculosis
• Diseases acquired during foreign travel
• Infections that develop while undergoing treatment for cancer and other blood-borne diseases
