Infectious Diseases

The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children's provides inpatient and outpatient consultations for children with all types of infections — from acute to chronic, and caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

We also offer a Travel Medicine Clinic for pediatric patients venturing abroad. Our specialists, all of whom are board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases, not only provide advanced clinical services for sick children, but also conduct research, teach medical trainees, and play an active role in task forces in the hospital and the community.

Research is a key component of our work. Located at the epicenter of Lyme disease in North America, Stony Brook investigators are developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for Lyme disease and other tickborne infections. We offer participation in investigations of new vaccines and new therapies for prevention and treatment of many pediatric infections.

As Suffolk County's only Pediatric-Maternal HIV/AIDS Center, we also have an extensive basic and clinical research program, bringing cutting edge therapies to the region.

Our Team

The faculty of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases consists of four full-time, board-certified physicians performing clinical care and consultations. The Division includes a clinical trials team of faculty members, study coordinators, and study nurses devoted to investigating pediatric infectious diseases. Comprehensive care is provided through collaboration with the countless pediatric and surgical specialties available at Stony Brook Children’s.

The Division collaborates with the hospital’s pharmacy, including a pharmacist specializing in infectious diseases. Faculty members  oversee the training of Pediatric Infectious Disease Fellows and General Pediatric Residents, who play a crucial role in patient care. In addition, our patients living with HIV benefit from designated Social Workers and Case Managers as part of our multidisciplinary approach to this disease.
