Not So Scary NEWBORN Conference
Saturday, October 18, 2014
Marriott NW Hotel, San Antonio, Texas
Conference Overview
The misconception that the developed countries, including the Unites States, are no longer vulnerable
to widespread infectious diseases is being shattered with the resurgence of many infectious diseases, once
thought to be eradicated. This vigorous revival solidifies the fact that these viruses remain a major cause of
morbidity and mortality of our youth and general population.
Refusal to vaccinate and apathy among parents who feel the common childhood diseases are no
longer a threat is a contributing factor in this resurgence. The emergence of some of these in more virulent
and drug-resistant forms has further underscored our vulnerability to infectious diseases.
The conference will provide an overview of the resurgence of the ‘Scary Diseases’ that are now being
seen again in the pediatrician office. Discussion will include treatment guidelines and management of these
common childhood infectious diseases. The topics will also consist of information on the importance of
vaccinations including the controversy and misconceptions surrounding vaccine refusal.
Target Audience
Physicians specializing in pediatrics, family practice, and general practice as well as maternal child health
nurses, pediatric and neonatal nurse practitioners and all allied health professionals who care for the newborn.
