Amina Ahmed Pediatric Infectious Disease As a pediatric infectious disease physician and Director of the Center for Pediatric Research at Levine Children’s Hospital, Amina provides inpatient and outpatient consultation on infectious diseases such as bone and joint infections, pneumonia, and skin and soft tissue infections (aka MRSA). Part of her practice at the Levine Children’s Specialty Center is dedicated to the care of children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. She recently added a clinic for pediatric tuberculosis, a particular clinical interest of hers that has allowed her to serve international adoptees and refugee families. As a faculty member, Amina is involved in teaching resident physicians and medical students from the University of North Carolina. In conjunction with Duke University, she is launching a 10 year study on tuberculosis sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control. At the same time, she is completing a landmark study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health evaluating newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus infection, a common and often silent infection that leads to hearing loss in thousands of infants annually.
