title: Newer pediatric pathogens.
abstract: Newer laboratory techniques have allowed the detection of previously unrecognized microbial agents that are now pathogenic in children, as well as newly recognized manifestations of previously known pathogens. Clinical reports of these newer agents or manifestations are reviewed so that pediatricians can become familiar with these emerging infectious diseases. Physicians need to consider these organisms in the differential diagnosis in appropriate clinical illnesses.
