Infectious Diseases Consultation Service
Our program is the only comprehensive diagnostic and treatment program in south and central Texas for primary immune deficiency disorders and related syndromes. We offer:
- Evaluation of children with recurrent, chronic or unusual infections
- Evaluation of children with potential immune deficiency
- Infusion of IVIG
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for severe immune deficiency, in cooperation with the Texas Transplant Institute
The clinic, directed by Dr. Infante, also provides consultation for other complex immune-mediated disorders, including ALPS and PFAPA, children on immunosuppressive therapies, and adults with primary immune deficiency. For help with HIV/AIDS, please see below.
The immunology program actively participates in national registry programs for primary immune deficiency and industry-sponsored clinical trials of immunoglobulin products and other drugs.
Children's Immunology Clinic is operated in collaboration with the Division of Hematology/Oncology and the Howard A. Britton, MD, Children's Cancer & Blood Disorders Center at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital (link to map and directions). The clinic meets every Wednesday from 8 a.m. to noon.

Clinical faculty from the Division of Pediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases have a group practice that provides consultations in the evaluation and management of infectious diseases that occur in children, with a collective expertise that provides a comprehensive scope of practice within this subspecialty. Individual special interests include opportunistic infections that occur in children with cancer and those who have received organ transplantation, infections that occur in children with primary immunodeficiencies, and children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In addition, faculty participate in clinical research evaluating the effects of treatment of neonatal herpesvirus infections.
The primary clinical practices of the faculty are based at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital and at University Hospital. Physicians desiring consultation, or to speak with the clinical faculty member currently on service, may call 210-567-5250 any time.
