Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunization Updates

Common cold is the most prevalent infectious disease among infants and children. They can experience colds 6 to 8 times a year because of their underdeveloped immune systems and exposure to germs. 

Pediatric infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites spreading illness from person to person. Many once-deadly infectious diseases can now be prevented by vaccination or treated effectively with antibiotics or antiviral drugs.
