The 5 most common infectious diseases

The World Health Organization collates a vast amount of data on the prevalence of all infectious diseases, and has recently updated its top 5 list:

  • Hepatitis B
  • Malaria
  • Hepatitis C
  • Dengue
  • Tuberculosis

With both Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C particularly prominent in their position on this list it is worthy of repeating, that great care must be taken with needles, with other sharps and with any other bloodstained wastes.
