Infectious disease specialists take care of children who have diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These serious–sometimes life-threatening–diseases can be especially difficult to treat in children but our doctors are thoughtful and caring. They have a specialized clinic for children with HIV. They provide inpatient care and are involved in many research protocols.
