Dr. Christos Karatzios is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Montreal Children's Hospital (Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Health Centre) since 2004. Dr. Karatzios chose to be a paediatrician because he loves working with children and since they are more resilient than adults in many ways, he shared that he “cherish to see the fruits of my labour when they get betterâ€. He completed clinical research training in pediatric HIV at the University of Miami, Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine. Additionally, he is a professor at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and the course coordinator of the Infectious Diseases Block of the McGill undergraduate medical curriculum. As a member of the Canadian Pediatric AIDS Research Group, he is involved with perinatal HIV surveillance across Canada. In 2020, Dr. Karatzios worked with the Brighton Collaboration – a WHO and USFDA-partnered group looking at COVID-19 complications in children and as part of this group, published an oft-cited diagnostic guide to recognize post-COVID-19 (and possible post COVID-19 vaccine) Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children/Adults.
