What is a Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist?
A Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist is a physician trained to diagnose, treat, and manage infections in children, ranging from newborns to adolescents. These specialists have extensive knowledge of infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause illnesses in children. They play a crucial role in managing complex or severe infections, particularly those that are uncommon, recurrent, or resistant to standard treatments.
