Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

“Through our unwavering commitment to patient care, education, research, and advocacy, PIDS will continue to lead with impact, integrity, and a shared dedication to improving the lives of children everywhere.”
Dr. Deb Palazzi, PIDS President

PIDS exists to promote the health of children through the prevention and control of infectious diseases worldwide. We do this through the discovery (innovation) and implementation of strategies to prevent and treat infectious diseases around the world (impact) while training future generations of pediatric infectious diseases specialists. As we do this, we are committed to building a professional society that reflects the diversity of those we serve (inclusion). It’s who we are.

Who we are

PIDS (Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society) is the world’s largest organization of professionals dedicated to the treatment, control and eradication of infectious diseases affecting children. Membership is comprised of physicians, doctoral-level scientists and others in the field of pediatric infectious diseases or related disciplines through clinical practice, research, teaching and/or administrative activities.

PIDS works closely with many professional organizations that share its goals, including the European Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases, the Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases in Latin America, The Asian Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
