The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases聽is one of the busiest consulting services at the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital (MCH), responding to a wide range of consults from all areas of the in-patient services as well as out-patient clinics. The MCH has every subspecialty represented, and the in-patients includes both bone marrow and solid organ transplant recipients, a very large neonatal intensive care unit and a very active pediatric intensive care unit聽from which many consults originate, as the patients are at increased risk of infection. In addition, there are a multitude of specialties that now use newer biologic therapies that also put patients at increased risk for infection.

The Division is聽fortunate to have seven dedicated physicians, not to mention 1.5 full time infection control practitioners.聽Of the physicians, 3/7 are duo certified in Medical Microbiology and play an active role in the MUHC Microbiology laboratory, 6/7 are actively involved in Antimicrobial Stewardship, 2/7 lead the group that looks after children exposed and infected with HIV, 2/7 oversee the Infection Control and Prevention program for the MCH, and 1/7 is duo certified and plays an active role in the division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.
