The three deadliest diseases for children are malaria, AIDS, and the flu. Malaria is caused by mosquito-borne parasites and kills over 1 million children annually, especially in Africa. AIDS weakens the immune system and leads to death, having killed 330,000 children. The flu, particularly the deadly Spanish flu of 1918, has caused widespread outbreaks throughout history that have killed millions.
