Description
Pediatric infectious disease medicine is the science and treatment of infectious disease in infants, children and adolescents.

This specialist deals with infectious and communicable diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. In some cases, the physician may use preventive medicine; in other cases, antibiotics may be prescribed for the young patient.
