pediatric diseases
Kids' medical conditions
Pediatric diseases are illnesses that affect infants, children, and adolescents.
Some are specific to childhood—conditions like croup, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, or congenital disorders present from birth.
Others are common diseases that manifest differently in young patients than in adults, requiring specialized treatment approaches.
The hospital's pediatric diseases unit treats everything from childhood cancers to rare genetic conditions.
