St. Luke's Children's Infections and Immune Deficiency: Boise

Our experienced team cares for infants, children and teens with infections that are serious, complex, or chronic. This includes complicated or recurrent Staphylococcal infections (including MRSA), and other antibiotic-resistant infections, as well as infectious diseases related to international travel, insect or animal exposures. We diagnose and treat viral diseases such as CMV, EBV, HIV, Herpes simplex virus, and Hepatitis C, as well as congenital infections. We also manage unexplained or recurrent fevers, periodic fevers, frequent infections and immune deficiency conditions.

Our clinic also offers prenatal counseling visits for mothers diagnosed with certain infections, and bone marrow transplant follow-up care for immune deficiency diagnoses, including SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency). We have expertise specifically relating to international adoption as well, including evaluation and treatment for common infectious diseases, assessment of immunization status, and management of chronic and congenital infectious diseases. We are available to meet with prospective adoptive parents for pre-adoption counseling relating to a child's known or suspected infectious diseases or immunodeficiency.
