Infectious Disease

Nemours provides evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for infants, children, and adolescents with a diversity of acute and chronic infections, including diagnostic puzzles or unusual bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Our infectious disease physicians coordinate all required diagnostic and/or therapeutic medical services.

Conditions seen include bone and joint infections, fever of unknown origin, congenital and neonatal infections, encephalitis, meningitis, Kawasaki disease, skin rashes, rheumatic fever, tuberculosis, recurrent infections, hepatitis, lung and heart infections, complicated urinary tract infection, and persistent, unusual infections.

Nemours physicians and surgeons are usually trained in multiple specialties—pediatrics and infectious disease, for example. Nemours physicians use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting physicians to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature. We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.
