Here are 10 Most Dangerous Disease In Children
1. Breath Tract Infections Down
Deadly diseases in the modern world is a lower respiratory infection. Lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, bronchitis and so on. It's hard to believe but in fact lower respiratory tract infections far exceeded the number of deaths around the world to AIDS and malaria. Mortality: More than 4 million deaths every year.
2. HIV / AIDS
Incidence: Approximately 39.4 million people living with AIDS. HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, does nothing more than erode a person's immune system, rendering the patient susceptible to other infections. AIDS, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is usually followed by an 8 to 15 years unless the patient is receiving treatment. Often, the patient died from pneumonia after infection with TB or AIDS. The death rate: 3 million deaths per year
3. Malaria
The incidence: 300-515000000 people diagnosed cases each year, most of which are in Africa. Malaria is transmitted by the world's deadliest animals known to man: the female anopheles mosquito. In fact, even malaria can not be transferred through physical contact, but it still accounts for millions of deaths worldwide every year. Statistics show that every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria in Africa. Mortality: 1-5 million deaths each year.

Infection rate: 4 billion cases diagnosed annually. Diarrhea in children is often caused by ritavirus. The other causes of diarrhea is cholera, dysentery, and a host of other bacterial infections such as microscopic worms. Diarrhea could be cured if treated early. Most diarrhea-related deaths, particularly in children, associated with dehydration. The death rate: Approximately 2.2 million deaths each year.
5. Tuberculosis

Meningitis is one of the most deadly diseases in the world, not only in terms of mortality, but in life as well as a full recovery. Fatal infection include brain and spinal cord regions. Even with early diagnosis and prompt treatment, 5 to 10 percent of patients who remained infect is not helped. Only about 10 to 20 percent of patients who have recovered suffered from hearing loss, brain damage, or learning disabilities. Mortality: 174,000 deaths each year.
