•Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is
transmitted through unclean needles, blood
transfusions, and from mother to child

7. Nutrition

•In 2010, about 104 million children
were underweight, and malnutrition
contributes about a third of the
deaths of children around the world.
Malnutrition worsens the immune
system by increasing the incidence,
severity and duration of infections
(including measles, pneumonia , and
diarrhea). Infection can also
contribute to malnutrition
