Abstract

Mirza Abdolhossein Khan Bin Mohammadhasan Philosoph Al-Dawlah Zanozi (1866–1941 AD) was an apprentice of the French physician and epidemiologist during the Qajar Dynasty, Dr. Joseph Désiré Tholozan (1820–1897 AD). He wrote a book, entitled “Resaleh dar Maraz Anfeluaanza (Gerip)”, which was dedicated to Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (1831–1896 AD). Describing the Iranian influenza epidemic in 1890 and 1891 AD, this book is written using the method of European medical books but with the approach of Iranian traditional physicians. The present study is the correction and revision of “Resaleh dar Maraz Anfeluaanza (Gerip)” (1309 AH/1892 AD). The studies show that the treatise “Gerip” is the first Iranian scientific text that scientifically deals with influenza. Subjects, such as causes and origin of the outbreak, types of the disease, treatment methods, and manifestation of symptoms in the affected individuals are some of the distinctive and notable points of this work.
