Abstract

This practice point provides guidance for clinicians caring for immunocompromised children, with focus on preventing or managing infection risks associated with a range of activities and exposures. The consequences of these infections depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the nature of the child's immunocompromised state, general health, and the virulence of the organism involved.
