- The H1N1 pandemic virus emerged globally in 2009, significantly affecting Saudi Arabia, especially in the Makkah region, with notable morbidity and mortality.
- Nasopharyngeal swabs from 100 patients during the outbreak were analyzed, revealing only 10 positive cases of H1N1 through PCR testing, with genetic analysis of selected samples showing close similarities with other isolates.
- The study's findings suggest that the genetic makeup of the H1N1 virus in Saudi Arabia aligns closely with the pandemic strain, indicating a shared origin.
