Infectious Diseases in Children
Make an Appointment
Every day, children get exposed to a variety of germs. Although preventing infectious diseases in children is much easier today than in the past, children still get common and unusual infections. Some of these can be difficult to diagnose or treat, especially if your child is already getting treatment for another illness or condition.
UVA Health Children’s pediatric infectious diseases team is board-certified and has special training and deep experience in treating severe, complicated or unusual infections, or infections that won’t go away.
Other than for traveler’s services, we see patients through doctor referrals only.
