Track: Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Pediatric Infectious Diseases are a wide range of problems caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that affect children from infancy to adolescence. Pediatric infectious disease specialists play a critical role in the detection, treatment, and prevention of these disorders, which range from common illnesses like the flu and strep throat to more serious conditions like meningitis and sepsis.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases:
This subsection will discuss the epidemiology, immunization strategies, and impact of vaccines on diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella, focusing on vaccination schedules and booster recommendations for children.
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Pediatrics:
Exploring the principles and practices of antimicrobial stewardship, this sub-section will highlight strategies to optimize antibiotic use, reduce resistance, and improve patient outcomes in pediatric populations.
