Arthritis
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a cause of bacterial infections that are often severe, particularly among infants. Prior to the availability of the Hib immunization, this bacteria was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis among children. It causes several other infections as well, many of which are considered to be invasive disease, such as pneumonias, septic arthritis, epiglottitis, and cellulitis. These invasive infections most always required hospitalization and those that were not fatal, commonly had life-long complications such as hearing impairment. In the early 1980s, it was estimated that about 20,000 cases occurred annually in the United States. In 2005 there were less than 200 cases, and most of these were not of the invasive type. In March 2009 there was a Hib outbreak in Pennsylvania resulting in the death of three children. The Hib vaccine protects again this bacteria and is given during the first year of life at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months of age.

She was in private practice in McKinney Texas for 4 years prior to relocating to Austin.

Immunizations
Well Child Visits are regularly scheduled check-ups for infants and children. In the first two years of life, children grow and develop rapidly with many changes. Therefore, frequent visits are necessary to monitor both their physical and mental growth and development. Immunizations are also given at these appointments.

Pregnancy

Autism
No overview of immunizations would be complete without mentioning autism. Over the past ten years, news stories have caused some parents to fear that the combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism. Although we still have a lot to learn about what does cause autism and how to treat it, we do have a wealth of knowledge that disproves cause by the MMR vaccine. The initial concern was raised in 1998 by a study published in London of a very small number of children. Those researchers have since retracted their statement acknowledging they did not have sufficient data to make that claim. Other critics claim that thimerosal, a preservative used in immunizations, is harmful to children because it is a mercury derivative. First, there are no studies that show that mercury at the level contained in vaccines was ever harmful or causes neurological problems. In 1999, thimerosal was removed from all of the vaccines that are routinely given to children in the United States and the rates of autism have continued to rise.

Radiology
Same day appointments are available as needed for your child's illness. Call (512) 451-5161 to schedule your appointment. We offer rapid tests for several illnesses in the office. If your child needs an x-ray or lab work, the lab and radiology locations are in nearby office complexes and same day results are available if indicated.
