Abstract

Background: each year, approximately 2 million Muslims travel from all over the world to participate in Hajj. Despite of health facilities, which apply by physician committee of Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries, over half of the pilgrims affected to respiratory diseases. In 1383, approximately 100000 Iranian pilgrims attended in Hajj pilgrimage that nearly 80% of them affected to respiratory infections. In this study, the role of viral agents investigated. Methods: Serum and throat washing samples have tested by hemagglutination inhibition and Immunofluorescence assays. Results of throat washing samples reveal that ADENOVIRUS and influenza viruses detected in 36.2% and 13.3%, respectively. Serologic results show that in 21.5% of second sera observed rise ≥ four-fold in antibody titer. In two cases RSV detected, but parainfluanza did not detected in none of samples.Result: These results show that ADENOVIRUS and influenza viruses were major causative agents of viral respiratory diseases among Iranian pilgrims. Nevertheless, the role of other agents and allergens should not ignore, because among more huge population of pilgrims, all of existing respiratory pathogens could be cause an epidemic.
