Abstract Background A few people infected by the coronavirus become seriously ill, while others show little to no signs of the symptoms, or are asymptomatic. Recent researches are pointing to the fact that the ABO blood group might play an important role in a person’s susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 infection. Aim of the study: try to understand the relationship between ABO groups and COVID-19 (susceptibility and severity). Results A total of (507) patients were included in this study. The study population was divided based on the ABO blood group into types A+, A−, B+, AB, O+, and O−. Blood group A was associated with high susceptibility of infection: group A, 381 (75.1%); and less common in group O, 97 (19.2%), group B, 18 (3.5%), and group AB, 11 (2.2%). The severity of COVID-19 infection was common in non-blood group O where (20 (7.1%), 4 (26.7%), 2 (11%), and 1 (9%) in type A+, A−, B+, and AB, respectively), while in type O 3.1%. And mechanically ventilated patients were 22 (5.9%), 2 (13.4%), 2 (11.1%), and 1 (1%). Mortality was high in blood groups A and B, 16 (4.37%) and 1 (5.5%), respectively, while in blood group O, it was 1%. Conclusion The incidence, severity, and mortality of COVID-19 were common in non-blood group O. While blood group O was protected against COVID-19.

The Relationship

Prevalence of infection with the intestinal helminths, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale and Strongyloides stercoralis was examinedin 632 residents of communities in Esmeraldas province of Ecuador. These communities were divided into two groups according to area of habitation which reflected different socioeconomic circumstances. Attempts were made to correlate infection status with race and ABO blood group phenotype. The racial groups included blacks, Chachi amerindians, and mixed-race mestizos. Greater prevalences of infection were seen in the area oflower socioeconomic status. No racial or blood group associations with helminth infection were seen controlling for socioeconomic status.

The Relationship

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Atrophic rhinitis is very common in India. All etiological factors are yet unknown.  Many studies have been conducted to find the relationship between ABO blood group and various systemic diseases but limited number of studies has been conducted to determine the association of ABO blood group with atrophic rhinitis. The present study therefore was performed to see the association between atrophic rhinitis and ABO blood group.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 100 patients of both genders clinically diagnosed with atrophic rhinitis were included in this study. Patients with nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and foul smelling from causes other than the atrophic rhinitis were excluded from the study.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Maximum number of cases 27 (27%) were between 21-30 years of age. The most common presenting symptom in our study was foul smell from nose in 100 cases (100%). Foetors, crusts and roomy nasal cavity were seen in majority of cases. Commonest organism identified in this study was <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> 37% followed by <em>Klebsiella</em> (31%). Out of 100 patients, 42 patients belonged to group O, 40 patients belonged to group B, 14 patients belonged to group A and only 4 patients belonged to group AB. Control population with blood group B comprises the maximum number of cases followed by blood group O. Percentage of patients with blood group O is higher in atrophic rhinitis as compared with control and the percentage of patients with blood group B is slightly higher in atrophic rhinitis as compared with control.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our study concluded that no correlation exists between the ABO blood group and atrophic rhinitis.</p>

Immunoglobulin Preparation

SummaryA patient with severe chronic thrombocytopenic purpura is described, whose serum, after repeated transfusions of platelet-rich plasma, of her ABO blood group, was found to contain immunoglobulin G, which produced clumping in platelet-rich plasma from 15 volunteers out of 20. Direct and indirect evidence was obtained that clumping was due to release of endogenous platelet-ADP. In addition, a direct effect of the immunoglobulin preparation on the platelet membrane could be demonstrated.
