Dr. Ganga Moorthy
Overview
I am a pediatric infectious diseases specialist with a particular interest in global health and antimicrobial stewardship. I treat children with a variety of infections including those affecting the skin, bones and joints, blood, and respiratory tract. I also work in the hospital and our clinics to ensure that children receive the the appropriate choice, dose, duration, and route of antibiotic therapy. As a pediatrician, I believe in trying to do right by the children of the world, one child at a time. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy being outside (especially hiking and gardening), traveling, and college football.

Duke Children's Health Center Infectious Diseases Clinic
I’m a pediatric infectious diseases specialist. The patients that I see are primarily very immune compromised children, so premature infants with severe infection, children with HIV, and children who had a stem cell transplant or chemotherapy and are at high risk for infection. My clinical care focuses on providing ideal therapy and ideal dosing to help prevent severe neurologic injury after infections in premature infants. With premature infants, they can’t tell you their symptoms and there’s no one perfect answer with dosage, so the medicine is really as much art as it is facts. And that’s really my favorite part of my job – figuring out the right dose for that patient and using that knowledge to help the next patient who comes into the unit. Outside of work, I participate in Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, and baseball with my wife and four children. Dr. Benjamin is highly rated in 7 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Premature Infant, Neonatal Herpes, Neonatal Sepsis, and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.
