Q&A with Dr. Michael Koster

What role does the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases serve in the hospital?

We typically consult on patients who have been admitted throughout the hospital for a myriad of complex infectious diseases. We spend a lot of time diving into patients’ charts to determine how they got where they are, what’s ultimately wrong, and how to get them better. The range of kids we serve have severe infections such as sepsis, a bloodstream infection, to less severe infections such as osteomyelitis, a bone infection.
