Pediatric infectious diseases encompass a wide range of illnesses caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that affect children. These diseases pose unique challenges due to the developing immune system and different clinical manifestations in pediatric populations. Common pediatric infectious diseases include respiratory infections (such as influenza, respiratory syncytial virus), gastrointestinal infections (rotavirus, norovirus), and vaccine-preventable diseases (measles, mumps, rubella). Bacterial infections like streptococcal infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections are also prevalent. Diagnosing and managing pediatric infectious diseases require a thorough understanding of age-specific clinical presentations, appropriate laboratory tests, and tailored treatment approaches. Antimicrobial stewardship is crucial to combat antibiotic resistance and ensure effective treatment. Vaccination remains a cornerstone in preventing many pediatric infectious diseases, contributing to improved child health globally. Research focuses on developing new vaccines, understanding host-pathogen interactions, and optimizing treatment strategies to address the unique aspects of pediatric infectious diseases and minimize their impact on children's health.
