1. Lower respiratory tract infections
Deadly diseases in the modern world is a lower respiratory infection. Lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia and bronchitis. Hard to believe, but the fact of lower respiratory tract infections far exceeded the number of deaths worldwide than AIDS and malaria. The death rate: more than 4 million people each year.
2. HIV / AIDS
The incidence: approximately 39.4 million people living with AIDS. HIV or human immunodeficiency virus is nothing more than an erosion of the immune system, when a patient susceptible to other infections. As for AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is usually followed within 8 to 15 years, unless the patient is receiving treatment. Often, the patient died due to tuberculosis or pneumonia after infection with AIDS. The death rate: 3 million per year.
3. Malaria
The incidence: 300-515000000 people diagnosed in the case every year, and most of which are in Africa. Malaria is transmitted by the world's deadliest animals known to man: the female anopheles mosquito. In fact, malaria can not be transferred through physical contact, but still accounts for millions of deaths worldwide every year. Statistics show that every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria in Africa. The death rate: 1-5 million people each year.
4. Diarrhea
The average number of infections: 4 billion cases diagnosed annually. Diarrhea in children is often caused by rotavirus. Other causes of diarrhea are cholera, dysentery, and a host of other bacterial infections, such as microscopic worms. Diarrhea could be cured if treated early. Most deaths from diarrhea, especially in children, associated with dehydration. The death rate: about 2.2 million people each year.
5. Tuberculosis
Incidence: 2 billion people diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) every year. TB kills millions of people every year. Fact: one-third of the world population infected. However, even with all these facts, new TB cases is still a diagnosis from year to year. As if people do not really care about to contracting the disease. TB symptoms include chills, fever, chronic cough, weakness, and weight loss. It is highly contagious and can spread through sneezing and coughing. TB is undoubtedly one of the most deadly diseases in the world in terms of mortality. The death rate: 2 million lives each year.
6. Measles
Incidence rate: more than 30 million people, mostly children, are infected each year. Measles can be easily cured, but deadly if left untreated. This disease occurs primarily in children, and especially in developing countries such as Africa and some in Asia. However, measles virus can infect even the adults. Measles can cause brain damage, blindness, and children vulnerable to diarrhea and pneumonia. The mortality rate: 1,400 people are estimated to die from measles every day.
7. Whooping cough
The incidence: 20 to 40 million cases diagnosed each year. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly lethal disease. It is highly contagious and, once a person is infected, the disease can cause a number of acute respiratory disease in a person. What looks like a common cold could kill you.

8. Tetanus
The incidence in the world: 500,000 cases diagnosed each year. By level, tetanus easily beat meningitis and syphilis with high rates of infection and deaths. You see, clostridium tetani, tetanus spores of bacteria that live in the soil, and so on, there are everywhere. Something as simple as a small cut or wound can infect you with the disease a few days after contact with dirty surfaces. Countries in Southeast Asia and Saharan Africa, each having 82,000 deaths and 84,000 lives each year, although the tetanus infection can be found all over the world. The death rate: 214,000 people each year.
9. Infection of the lining of the brain (meningitis)
Meningitis can be caused by bacteria. Deadly diseases-9 in the modern world is the common meningitis. The average number of infections: More than 1 million people each year. Meningitis is one of the most deadly diseases in the world, not only in terms of mortality, but also in life after a full recovery as well. Fatal infection covering the brain and spinal cord regions. Even with early diagnosis and treatment are carried out immediately, 5 to 10 percent of patients who experience remained not helped. As many as 10 to 20 percent of patients who have recovered suffered hearing loss, brain damage, or learning disabilities. The mortality rate: 174 000 lives each year.
10. Diphtheria
Diseases caused by bacteria, including dangerous and can be life threatening in children quickly. Signs and symptoms only started fever and sore throat and white patches in the throat incidence. If not treated quickly, it can be immediately life-threatening because it can membuntukan respiratory, heart, so it can quickly be life-threatening because of complications.
