Abstract

We compared Measles, Tuberculosis, Poliomyelitis and Rubella infectious diseases in Pakistan on children aged less than 15 years from 2013 to 2018. We collected the registered cases of each disease per years at the World Health Organization (WHO) and at the United Nation International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) website and we used SPSS program to calculate descriptive statistics and plot graphics. We find out that over the past six years, among the four infectious diseases studied, Tuberculosis and Measles were the most present among children aged fewer than 15, their mean over the years was respectively 34430.50 and 20107.50, and their percentage was around 50% Of the whole studied diseases. Rubella and Poliomyelitis were the less infectious disease present among children aged under 15 in Pakistan from 2013 to 2018, their mean over the years was respectively 178.35 and 114.28, and their percentage was around 1% of the whole studied infectious diseases. Furthermore, Away from Poliomyelitis which curve was mostly decreasing over the last six years, all the three other diseases, Tuberculosis, Measles and Rubella had a curve mostly increasing over the last six years.
