There are many Infectious Diseases in Haiti, too many, in fact to list them all. These are a few of the worst and most common:

TB and HIV/AIDs are the at the top. Malaria, bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A and E, leptospirosis, dengue fever, yellow fever, and typhoid fever are also prevalent in Haiti.

Haiti has the highest per capita TB burden in the Latin America and Caribbean region. After HIV/AIDS, it is the Haiti's greatest infectious cause of mortality in both youth and adults There were 6,814 deaths in 2007.

Many of the infectious diseases in Haiti have a lot to do with the lack of clean drinking water and other unsanitary conditions the country faces.

If you want to know more about infectious diseases in Haiti, there is a whole book on it called Infectious Diseases of Haiti by the Gideon E-Book Series. This is the link: http://www.gideononline.com/blog/wp/wp-content/uploads/The-Infectious-Diseases-of-Haiti-by-GIDEON.pdf
