Results: The results showed that the moisture infectious diseases (r=-0.19) negative correlation between the temperature of infectious diseases (r=-.24) negative relationship between pressure against infectious diseases (r=0.05) significant positive correlation between infectious diseases (r=-.35) There is a significant negative correlation (p<0.05). Accordingly, we can conclude the climate impact of the spread of infectious diseases in children.
