About Us
Infectious diseases in children can spread through surface germs, coughing, sneezing, insect or animal bites and contaminated food, water, plants or soil. These contagious diseases can present with a range of symptoms, from fevers and coughs to rashes or painful urination. At Children’s Nebraska, we offer expert diagnosis and care when your patient is ill.
Our providers specialize in pediatric infectious diseases and are involved in ongoing research. We are proficient in the latest treatment advancements and have a deep understanding of children’s unique healthcare needs. Our team helps manage bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections, and we also offer travel medicine services, including vaccinations and guidance on disease risks and prevention for patients traveling.
