The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Weill Cornell Medicine is committed to providing comprehensive and specialized medical care to infants, children, and adolescents with acute and chronic infectious diseases. We integrate basic pediatric care services with state-of-the-art treatment to meet the challenges posed by pediatric infectious diseases. This rapidly changing field requires specialized, innovative approaches to both common infections and more serious infectious diseases.
Our practice provides primary and consultative care for infants and children with illnesses known or suspected to be caused by infections with viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, as required.
Diagnosis and therapy are provided for infections in all major organ systems, including the brain and spinal cord, bloodstream, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, intestines, kidneys and bladder, skin, joints, and bones, as well as infections that involve multiple body systems.
Patients with unusual or severe infections and patients who have infections related to abnormal or weakened immune systems, are also cared for by our Infectious Disease subspecialists. Complex immunization schedules or management of antibiotic treatments are addressed.
