Abstract: More than 2 million people are expected to make the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia every year. It is one of the world’s largest mass gatherings with people from more than 180 different countries around the world. In such a huge human gathering, pilgrims are at high risk to be exposed to different infectious agents. The most common reported infections mainly include respiratory, gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Influenza, common cold, bronchitis, sinusitis and pneumonia are the most prevalent respiratory diseases while gastroenteritis, food poisoning and hepatitis are the commonest gastrointestinal and liver infections.
