Pediatric Infectious Disease Care
Specialized Care for Complex Infections in Kids and Teens in New Jersey
Children sometimes face infections that are more complicated than the common cold or seasonal flu. Families across New Jersey turn to Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health for expert support when their child’s illness needs specialized care. Our infectious disease specialists work closely with your child’s pediatrician and care team to uncover the cause, offer clear answers, and guide you through the treatment process with compassion and experience.
Whether your child is dealing with a recurring illness, an infection that’s hard to treat, or a condition linked to travel or a weakened immune system, our pediatric infectious disease team is here to help.
Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
We see children and adolescents with a wide range of infections, including:
- Antibiotic-resistant or recurring infections
- Bone and blood infections
- Infections related to international travel
- Skin infections, including MRSA
- Meningitis
- Tuberculosis (TB)
- Hepatitis
- HIV/AIDS
- Infections during cancer or blood disorder treatment
- Tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease
We also care for newborns and children in intensive care settings, working in close partnership with neonatologists, pediatric oncologists, and other specialists to ensure your child receives the safest and most comprehensive care possible.
