As part of the Children’s Physician Group, Emory faculty provides consultations, expert treatment and follow-up care for children and adolescents with an array of infectious diseases. We also provide the latest treatments and therapies for children and youth living with HIV in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary care clinic at the Grady Health System Ponce de Leon Youth and Family Center.
We are involved in educational activities to increase knowledge and enhance care for children with infections, leading to healthier, safer communities. In addition to these clinical and educational activities, we maintain active research programs that investigate the basic, clinical and translational aspects of infectious diseases.
