Internationally, the greatest variation in<unk>  incidence occurs when comparing high-income countries to low-income ones. This may result from differences in being able to diagnose<unk> , differences in risk among different ethnic or racial population subgroups, as well as differences in risk factors. An example of differing risk factors is in cases of pediatric Burkitt lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that sickens 6 to 7 children out of every 100,000 annually in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, where it is associated with a history of infection by both Epstein-Barr virus and malaria. In industrialized countries, Burkitt lymphoma is not associated with these infectious conditions. United States In the United States,<unk>  is the second most common cause of death among children between the ages of 1 and 14 years, exceeded only by accidents. More than 16 out of every 100,000 children and teens in the U.S. were diagnosed with<unk> , and nearly 3 of every 100,000 died from the disease. In the United States in 2012, it was estimated that there was an incidence of 12,000 new cases, and 1,300 deaths, from<unk>  among children 0 to 14 years of age. Statistics from the 2014 American<unk>  Society report: Ages birth to 14 Sex Incidence Mortality Observed Survival % Boys 178.0 23.3 81.3 Girls 160.1 21.1 82.0 Ages 15 to 19 Sex Incidence Mortality Observed Survival % Boys 237.7 34.5 80.0 Girls 235.5 24.7 85.4 Note: Incidence and mortality rates are per 1,000,000 and age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. Observed survival percentage is based on data from 2003-2009. United Kingdom<unk>  in children is rare in the UK, with an average of 1,800 diagnoses every year but contributing to less than 1% of all<unk> -related deaths. Age is not a confounding factor in mortality from the disease in the UK. From 2014 to 2016, approximately 230 children died from<unk> , with Brain/CNS<unk> s being the most common culprit.
