Children are particularly susceptible to infections
due to their developing immune systems.
Our Pediatric Infectious Disease Unit provides
expert evaluation and management of both common and complex infections,
focusing on prompt diagnosis, accurate treatment,
and minimizing long-term complications.
Our pediatricians follow evidence-based protocols
and antibiotic stewardship principles
to ensure safe and effective care.
We treat a wide range of infections, including:
- Fevers of unknown origin
- Viral illnesses
- Dengue
- Malaria
- Typhoid
- Gastroenteritis
- Pneumonia
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Meningitis
- Skin infections
- Tuberculosis
Diagnostic methods include blood cultures, CRP/ESR, PCR,
and chest imaging to determine infection type
and tailor treatment accordingly.
Children are managed in outpatient settings when possible,
or admitted for observation, hydration, intravenous antibiotics,
or isolation if contagious.
For recurrent or resistant infections,
we investigate for immunodeficiencies
or underlying chronic conditions.
Parents are educated about home care, infection control,
and warning signs.
We also collaborate with public health authorities
in cases of vaccine-preventable outbreaks.
Our integrated infectious disease services
ensure safe recovery for children while reducing
the risk of spread to others.
