The objective of this study was to determine the blood groups among the patients presenting with ischemic stroke either AB blood group or O blood group is more common (frequent) among these patients irrespective of other known factors responsible for stroke. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Medicine, Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: January 2015 to August 2015. Materials & Methods: We included total 292 patients (40-70 years of age), with ischemic stroke documented on CT scan brain of both gender (male and female). Blood sample of these patients were sent to the central laboratory of Nishtar hospital for blood group determination using standard techniques. Results: Mean age was 56.26 ± 8.28 years. Out of the 292 patients, 163 (55.82%) were male and 129 (44.18%). Frequency of blood group A, B, AB and O in patients with ischemic stroke was found to be 114 patients having blood group A (39.04%), 53 patients having blood group B (18.15%), 26 patients having blood group AB (8.90%) and 99 patients having blood group O (33.90%) respectively. Conclusion: Our study results concluded that there is an association between ABO blood groups and ischemic stroke, irrespective of other risk factors. Our study results have observed that individuals belonging to non-O blood groups (A, B, or AB) are at an increased risk of ischemic stroke as compared to O blood group carriers however we did not control possible impact of confounders such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia etc. Many studies proved that persons with AB blood groups are at increased of atherosclerosis but no study showed that these persons have increased risk of ischemic stroke or not.

Abstract Background Malaria continues to be a major health problem in developing sub-Saharan countries including Ethiopia. Malaria is a complex disease and its local characteristics are determined by a variety of geographical, environmental, insect vector, host, and parasite factors.Methods A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of malaria and its possible association with hemoglobin level and ABO blood group among individuals attending Mekaneeyesus Primary Hospital, Estie District, northwestern Ethiopia. Socio-demographic variables and relevant data were collected from 390 randomly selected individuals through structured questionnaire. Then, thick and thin smears were prepared from finger pricked blood samples, stained, and examined microscopically for detection and identification of malaria parasites. ABO blood group and hemoglobin levels of the same subjects were also determined. The data generated were entered into a computer and analyzed for descriptive and logistic regression models using SPSS version 23.0. Variables with p-value < 0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were considered as explanatory variables.Results The overall prevalence of malaria was 8.5%; Plasmodium vivax (5.6%) was the most predominant, followed by P. falciparum (2.3%), and mixed infection of the two species (0.5%). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, being male (AOR = 3.48), under-five years of age (AOR = 72.84), rural residence (AOR = 2.64), and failing to use bed net (AOR =4.65) were significantly associated with the risk of malaria infection. Most (14.6%) of malaria positives cases were among individuals with blood group “A”, while the least number of cases were among subjects with blood group “O”. Individuals with blood group “A” were about four times more likelihood of getting malaria as compared to individuals with blood group “O” (AOR= 3.74). The prevalence of anemia was 23% and significantly associated with malaria (p<0.05).Conclusions Malaria in the study area is still higher than the average prevalence at country level. Therefore special attention should be given to the prevention and control strategies with the objective of increasing the awareness of local community towards malaria.

Abstract Background ABO blood group types are among the risk factors of COVID-19 infection in many recent studies. Thus, the objective of this study is to find the relations between ABO types and COVID-19 infection as well as to find out the riskier group that is associated with hospitalization and the need for O2 support. Methods This observational cross-sectional study was done to identify the risk and relations between ABO blood groups and Rh factor of 530 Iraqi-Kurdish patients affected with COVID-19 infection. Among them, 184 patients were severe cases that needed hospitalization while 346 patients were mild to moderate cases that were treated at home. The diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was based on Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test, high-resolution Chest CT scan, strong clinical suspicion plus history of the close home or job contact with COVID-19 confirmed patient. Results There were no significant differences in the distribution of ABO blood grouping in the total COVID-19 cases, however, the severity in form of hospitalization and O2 demand was higher in blood group A whereas the lowest in group B. Male patient were significantly older than females with more prolonged illness duration. The duration of COVID-19 illness, the need for plasma, and the rate of mortality were very significantly higher among hospitalized COVID-19 patients than non-hospitalized. In 37.2% of the patient, the initial presentation was a combination of more than one symptom. In 28% of cases, myalgia was the 1st mono-symptomatic presentation. Conclusions Blood group A is associated with the highest rate of hospitalization and O2 demand, besides, the duration of illness and rate of mortality in males were more than females.

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.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the pathological changes in gastric mucosa of Helicobacter pylori-infected peptic ulcer patients carrying different ABO phenotypes and to study the response to the 14 days’ standard triple therapy and 10 days’ quadruple therapy in peptic ulcer patients according to their ABO phenotypes.Methods: Interventional prospective randomized-controlled open-label study was performed on newly diagnosed patients with PUD. The H. pylori-positive patients were allocated into two major study groups in which they are subdivided according to ABO blood group phenotypes: Group 1 received standard H. pylori eradication triple therapy and Group 2 received standard H. pylori eradication quadruple regimen. Patients were monitored after 2 months for successful H. pylori eradication.Results: Chronic active gastritis was significantly high in patients carrying blood Group O phenotype (81.25%), while the atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were significantly high in patients carrying blood Group A phenotype (25.00% and 16.67%), respectively. 14 days’ triple therapy showed significantly lower eradication rate in H. pylori-infected peptic ulcer patients carrying blood Group O phenotype (p<0.01), meanwhile higher response was found among patients with blood Group B. 10 days’ quadruple therapy produced a significant high eradication rate in H. pylori-infected patients carrying blood Group O than those with blood Group A (p<0.01), but still both showed lower response compared to that in patients carrying blood Group B and AB phenotypes. Elderly patients showed significantly less healing efficacy than younger patients (p<0.01), and the least healing rate was noticed in female patients after both regimens.Conclusion: Lower eradication rate in H. pylori-infected was noticed in peptic ulcer patients carrying blood Group O mainly than those with other blood groups and particularly those with duodenal Ulceri. 10 days’ quadruple therapy showed significant higher eradication rate in H. pylori infection and a better ulcer healing efficacy.
