Preventing and treating infectious disease
Children might feel slightly or even severely ill for no obvious reason. Or they might be sick more often than normal. As a parent, you know how difficult it can be when your child’s illness is persistent or severe.
Our specialists offer decades of experience in diagnosing and treating children who are sick from diseases passed from other people or from something they touch or breathe. Our experts in infectious disease care for children with infections that are persistent or severe, some of which are common and others that are rare.
We also offer vaccines to prevent disease at home and during overseas travel.
