Transmission of Infectious Diseases in Children

Donald A. Goldmann MD1
 1 Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School; Hospital Epidemiologist and Director of the Bacteriology Laboratory, Hospital Epidemiology Program and Department of Medicine, Children's Hospital, Boston, MA.

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.
