Christine M. Salvatore, MD is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Weill Cornell Medical College. She received her M.D. in Italy at the University of Trieste Faculty of Medicine and Surgery in 1993 and completed her pediatric residency at Burlo Garofolo Children?s Hospital, also in Trieste.
Her clinical interests include general pediatric infectious diseases, the evaluation and management of infections in immunocompromised hosts including transplant and chemotherapy recipients, pediatric HIV, respiratory infections.
After working as an attending pediatrician until 2002, she came to the United States where she completed additional pediatric training at Jacobi Medical Center in New York and a fellowship training in pediatric infectious disease at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. She is board certified in both Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Salvatore has always been interested in medical education and has given lectures to medical students, residents and medical staff on general pediatrics, pediatric infectious diseases, pediatric HIV and infectious complications in pediatric solid organ transplantation. Her interest in pediatric infectious diseases started in Italy where she collaborated, as Principal Site Investigator, with the PENTA (Pediatric European Network for the Treatment of AIDS) and the Italian Register for HIV Infection in Children. Since then she has been involved in several clinical trials, such as the effectiveness of antiretroviral drugs in HIV infected children, the role of antimicrobial lock therapy in clearing central venous catheter-related fungal and bacterial infections.
Clinical research is one of her main interests. While at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, she also conducted basic research studying, in a murine model, treatment strategies for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections and the role of IL-12 in the pathogenesis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infections.
