Pediatric Infectious Diseases

In recent years, decrease in global mortality and improvement in quality of life have been among the most significant progresses in child and adult health. In the field of pediatric infectious diseases, remarkable advances have been achieved in terms of reduction of incidence of childhood infectious diseases and associated morbidity and mortality. This is especially true for vaccine-preventable diseases where immunization against measles, Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococci, meningococci, rotavirus, varicella, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, etc., has dramatically decreased the burden of targeted infections in high- and low-income countries.
