Track: Pediatric and Neonatal Infectious Diseases

Pediatric and Neonatal Infectious Diseases

The vast majority of neonates enter the world healthy. But sometimes, infants develop conditions that require medical tests and treatment. New borns are particularly susceptible to certain disease. Infectious diseases remain a significant challenge in pediatric and neonatal care, requiring a deep understanding of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of current trends, innovations, and best practices in managing infectious diseases among children and neonates.

Key Highlights:

Common and Emerging Infections: Explore prevalent infections in children and neonates, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, and bloodstream infections, as well as the rise of emerging pathogens.

Antimicrobial Stewardship:
Discuss strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance and promote responsible antibiotic use in pediatric and neonatal settings.

Vaccination Strategies: Review the latest vaccine updates, schedules, and their impact on controlling infectious diseases globally.

Neonatal Immune Challenges: Understand the unique vulnerabilities of neonatal immune systems and how they influence infection management.

Global Perspectives and Innovations: Learn about breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and infection control practices tailored to diverse healthcare settings.

This session aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to address infectious disease challenges effectively, improving health outcomes for pediatric and neonatal populations worldwide.
