In 2013, 190,000 children died of HIV-related causes and there were 550,000 cases and 80,000&nbsp;TB deaths in children. Children under age 5&nbsp;account for 78% of malaria deaths annually. NTDs remain a public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries. This article provides an overview of the major IDoP that affect children. Clinicians must be familiar with the epidemiology and clinical manifestations to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.</p>
