Volume 1, Issue17 November 23 , 2011 Sandra Fowler, MD, MSc Division Chief, Pediatric Infectious Disease Phone: (843) 792-2385 Email: [email protected] Web Sites: http://www.musckids.com/ http://clinicaldepartments.musc .edu/pediatrics Facts FAX team: Rita Ryan, MD John Sanders Scott Russell, MD Linda Howard Robin Rose Suzanne Scott Meredith Strehle Sandra Fowler, MD, MSc, Division Chief, Pediatric Infectious Disease Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease The Division consists of 3 board-certified Pediatric Infectious Diseases specialists: Drs. Terry Dixon, Division Chief Sandra Fowler, and Dan Wray. The Division’s primary clinical activities include outpatient and inpatient consultations for complicated common, and uncommon infectious diseases such as osteomyelitis and tuberculosis; long-term antibiotic management; and evaluation and care for immunocompromised patients. We operate one of 3 specialized Ryan White-funded pediatric HIV clinics in the state, serving both perinatally and behaviorally infected children and youth with a multidisciplinary team of Pediatric ID physicians, along with Dr. Eve Spratt in Child Psychiatry; Consuela Drayton, RN, nurse case manager; Angel Payton-Harmon, MSW, social worker; and Pam Ingram, M. Ed, school psychologist. Dr. Dan Wray Dr. Sandra Fowler Dr. Terry Dixon The Division has current research collaborations with specialists in behavioral health to address risk behaviors in HIV infected youth. Effective prenatal screening for HIV along with perinatal HIV prophylaxis has nearly eliminated perinatal HIV transmission. Unfortunately, these gains have not translated into reduced behavioral transmission among youth, who now account for the largest proportional increases in HIV infection. Dr. Terry Dixon, the newest member of the group, received his MD and PhD in microbiology from Duke University, where he also completed his residency and ID fellowships. He is also boardcertified in Clinical Microbiology. He is developing a basic research program in molecular diagnostics of candida infections, and has already been recognized as a superb clinician and teacher. He also has an interest in pediatric-specific antimicrobial stewardship strategies. Dr. Wray specializes in transplant infectious diseases in adults and children. Dr. Fowler has a particular interest in viral infections and antiviral therapy and is currently conducting clinical trials involving treatment of congenital CMV infection, treatment of severe influenza, and surveillance for rotavirus disease in young children. She is also active in the Children’s Hospital Infection Prevention program. Children’s Hospital Infection Prevention Wins: • There were no cases of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in the CH in the month of October • Pediatric Intensive Care Unit has gone 21 months without a central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) • No CLABSI in Pediatrics outpatient clinics in 2 years
