Objective. To analyze the incidence of infectious diseases among children in the Orenburg Region in 2015.

The author has used data from the state reports «On the state sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing of the population in the Orenburg Region» for the period 2013–2015, data from annual statistical reports (Form № 2), and those of the Federal Service of State Statistics in the Orenburg Region. The clinical features of infectious diseases are presented by extracts from case histories.

In viral infections, the activity of the epidemic process is maintained by the pediatric population, whose proportion is as high as 70% in the age structure of morbidity in the period of an epidemic rise.
Conclusion. Involvement of infants in the epidemic process necessitates monitoring of the circulation of pathogens and prevention.
