Infectious Diseases

The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the UCSF School of Medicine provides clinical care for children with a wide variety of infections and training in diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. Members of the division conduct research in clinical, translational and basic science areas. 

Training Patient Care Research

Clinical Programs

We provide consultation for infants and children with infections throughout the UCSF Children's Hospital and the Pediatric and Neonatal services at San Francisco General Hospital.  We see conditions ranging from common, community-acquired diseases to opportunistic infections in children with congenital or acquired immune deficiencies. In addition, because of San Francisco's international population, we often see infections acquired in developing countries.

Research

Our Division is involved in a variety of creative activities, including outcomes and translational research, basic research in molecular pathogenesis and clinical investigations in developing countries in Asia and Africa.  In addition, we have had long-standing collaborations with scientists in other UCSF clinical and basic science departments.

Training

We sponsor an ACGME-certified, three-year Fellowship program to train Pediatricians for Academic or Public Health careers in Infectious Diseases.  In addition, the elective rotation in Pediatric Infectious Diseases is consistently filled by Pediatric Residents, UCSF medical students and visiting medical students.
