摘要
We analyzed the formal consultations seen by the infectious diseases service over a 14-year period at one of the largest pediatric hospitals in Australia. We highlight the increasing demand for pediatric infectious diseases expertise and the reasons for which consultations are sought. Our findings will help in planning and resource allocation in an era of increasingly complex patients.
