AI Article Synopsis
- Understanding pediatric infectious diseases involves knowing how they spread and the contexts in which exposure happens.
- The risk of infection can vary greatly based on the environment where children are exposed to pathogens.
- New developments in diagnostic tools and molecular studies are enhancing our understanding of these diseases and their transmission patterns.
Article Abstract
A rational approach to the control of pediatric infectious diseases requires an appreciation of their epidemiology and mechanisms of transmission. The setting in which the exposure occurs may have a major influence on the risk of infection. Unfortunately, the epidemiology of many important pediatric pathogens is complex and incompletely understood. Recent advances in diagnostic microbiology and molecular epidemiology may help to solve some of the remaining riddles.
