Infectious diseases in children are a major public health issue and pose significant challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. This paper examines the most common infectious diseases affecting children, the essential role of nurses in their management, preventive strategies, and the importance of family education to improve health outcomes. By analyzing diseases such as influenza, gastroenteritis, and bacterial infections, we highlight the complexity and nature of pediatric infectious diseases. Effective management requires thorough assessments and educating patients and families about vaccination. Nurses play a crucial role in monitoring symptoms, providing supportive care, and implementing preventive measures, significantly contributing to the improvement of pediatric health.
