Pediatric Infectious Disease

The Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease directs and manages an active in-patient consultation service and an active ambulatory service for children with infectious diseases. A key part of our work includes operating a large clinic for HIV-infected and HIV-exposed children and adolescents at both Children’s Health℠ Children’s Medical Center in Dallas and Plano.

Patient Care
Patient Care

The Division consults with and cares for more than 700 infants and children each year at Parkland Hospital and William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital. Our young patients often suffer from inherited or acquired immunodeficiency, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy for cancer, organ transplantation, bone marrow, and stem cell transplantation.

Faculty working with pediatric infectious disease excel at applying modern molecular biologic techniques to clinical problems. In many cases we partner with the Departments of Microbiology and Immunology on collaborative projects. Division faculty publish an average of 10-12 papers yearly in peer-reviewed journals.
