Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Steven Dahl's research focuses on infectious diseases, particularly in pediatric populations. He has investigated invasive pneumococcal disease, examining clinical presentations and serotype distribution among children with and without underlying risk factors, as well as culture-positive pneumococcal pneumonia requiring hospital admission.

Dahl has also explored antibiotic prescribing patterns, including benchmarking outpatient pediatric antibiotic prescribing and identifying disparities in outpatient antibiotic prescribing for urinary tract infections. His work includes studying rare and fatal infections, such as <i>Naegleria fowleri</i> meningoencephalitis and tick-borne diseases presenting as HLH-like syndromes in infants. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences on these and other studies.
