Pediatric Infectious Diseases Program

Pediatric Infectious Diseases Program

Expert care from physicians internationally recognized for their leadership in research and innovative treatments.

Frightening fevers, bacterial infections, travel-related illnesses, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases can be especially devastating when the patient is a child. At Children’s Health℠, members of the Infectious Disease Team are not only experts in diagnosing, treating, and managing infectious diseases in the youngest patients, they’re experts in helping families live their lives fully - in spite of the illness.

Our specialists also offer medical advice and consultations to other physicians. Those needing medical advice or consultation should call 214-456-6500.

Referral information

The internationally-recognized infectious disease specialists work with pediatric providers throughout Texas and the United States on difficult cases, particularly those involving fevers of unknown origins, bacterial infections, tuberculosis, and travel-related diseases.

Consultations and treatments are provided in close cooperation with the patient's referring physician. Diagnosis, evaluation and recommended treatment information is provided promptly to the referring physician. A written referral from a physician is usually required, and pre-authorization is required by many insurance plans. To find out more about the referral process, please call 214-456-6500.
