Abstract

Iran-Iraq war began in 1980 in a widespread front, located mostly in a warm climate (especially in summer). Both the people living there and the troops fighting during the war, had HEAT STROKE morbidities due to excessive sunlight exposure. In a cross-sectional descriptive study, during 8 years period of war (1980-1987), among a total number of 184627 troops, 9477 cases had heat related complaints. The heat related problems were classified in 3 categories; namely heat fatigue (44.02%), heat exhaustion (49.47%) and HEAT STROKE (6.49%). The first category of the disease was the least problematic entity, which was relieved by cold drink and resting at cool location. The second category was associated with water and electrolyte loss, which needed i.v. fluid therapy. The third group was relieved only by inhalational methods, cold blankets and gross i.v. therapy. The results suggest a relatively high incidence of heat related morbidities which need more medical attention and also more sophisticated studies to assess suitable therapeutic modalities.
