Clinical Services

The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Subspecialty Clinic serves children between birth and 21 years of age with known or suspected infections.  When appropriate, we will see pregnant women with concerns regarding infections and their impact on their unborn child.  Frequent reasons for referral include: fever of unknown origin, recurrent or severe otitis media, sinusitis, diarrhea, skin infections, HIV, HSV, Hepatitis A, B, C or unknown, bone, joint and deep tissue infections, pneumonia, meningitis and tuberculosis.  Any suspected infections, exposure to an infection or questions about an infection are appropriate for referral.

 

There are two clinic days: Mondays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and Thursdays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Appointments on other days can be arranged, if needed.  Clinics are held on the second floor of the Children’s Health Center.
