What is Pediatric Infectious Disease?
Pediatric infectious diseases refer to infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites in children. These conditions can range from mild to severe, affecting various parts of the body, including the respiratory system, digestive tract, and skin. Children have developing immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications. Pediatric specialists focus on providing targeted treatments, preventive vaccinations, and supportive care to ensure the best outcomes for young patients.
