Publications

As an Infectious Diseases clinician at Boston Children's Hospital, I have the opportunity to care for children with a wide range of infections, including Lyme disease, viral infections such as CMV, and infections of the bones and joints. The broad spectrum of illnesses that Infectious Diseases doctors treat means that there is always more to learn, and I am grateful for the expertise of the collaborative team of doctors in our division. I particularly enjoy helping children and their families understand their diagnoses and treatment plans.
