Infectious diseases
|
Infectious diseases consist of the majority of acute diseases in children. Severe infections emerge gradually due to the presence of many immunocompromised patients in our department and the progression of nosocomial infection in recent years. Hence the spectrum of pediatric infectious diseases turns much broader and complicated. Our clinical services aim to provide comprehensive care for children with infectious diseases, as well as infection control and avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics.
