NEW YORK — When should a pediatrician consider that one of their patients may have an underlying immune issue?
C. Buddy Creech, MD, MPH, director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Research Program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, provides some answers in this video from the Infectious Diseases in Children Symposium.
“We see these kids all the time — those children who have either repeated infections or maybe have one or two infections early in life that are particularly severe,” Creech said. “Parents, as well as we as their providers, want to have an easy way to either provide reassurance or make a diagnosis we can intervene on in order to keep these children healthy.”
