COVID – 19 is a global pandemic caused by a coronavirus named SARS CoV -2. A large family of viruses that causes severe respiratory diseases known as Coronavirus (CoVs) show symptoms such as common cold and range to more rare and severe respiratory diseases such SARAS i.e Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and MERS i.e Middle East Respiratory Syndrome detected for the first time in 2003 and 2012, respectively. It is expected to be a zoonotic virus transmitted via bats categorically, from genus Rhinolophus and closely related animals to humans. As this life threatening pandemic started from the Wuhan city of China, and the examination about this disease is still in continuity. It is very important to explore all possible scientific key points regarding this disease to eradicate such a dangerous issue from the society and to save the human race on earth. Literature available till now confirmed that the ABO blood group system showed significant relationship with various diseases. Now, scientific communities were working on different aspects of COVID-19 disease. But by keeping in mind about the severity of this disease and the relationship of blood group system of humans with infectious disease we conducted this study. Present review is designed to explore the relationship of COVID-19 alongwith other disease with the ABO blood group and Von Willebrand Factor. This study will provide information about the scientific evidences regarding the role of blood group antigens in prognosis of COVID-19 alongwith other disease and this can be significant for future research.

Background: In studies, ABO blood group system has been shown to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, gestational diabetes mellitus, postpartum depression, coronary artery disease, Crohn’s disease as well as various cancer types such as stomach, breast, skin cancers and rheumatologic diseases. Aims and Objective: The relationship between anti TPO positivity and ABO blood group system is aimed to be investigated by using blood groups which are the product of genetic structure and easy to identify by considering the relationship between anti TPO positivity and blood group. Materials and Methods: 4312 patients with determined blood groups were included among the patients, who were admitted to the internal medicine outpatient clinics of our hospital between January 2, 2017 and May 28, 2019 and were screeened for thyroid antibodies with thyroiditis susceptibility. Results: The most common blood group was A in both anti TPO positive and anti TPO negative patient groups.The rate of those with O blood group was 2.65% higher in anti TPO positive group than anti TPO negative group. B blood group was found to be 4.87% higher in anti TPO negative group than anti TPO positive group (p:0.148). Conclusion: In conclusion, it was found that O blood group may be a risk factor for anti TPO positivity and B blood group is much lower in anti TPO positive ones. However, it is obvious that more comprehensive prospective multicentered clinical and experimental studies are needed to establish the relationship between blood groups and autoimmune diseases, especially autoimmune thyroiditis.

A sudden outbreak of pneumonia caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread all over the world facilitating the declaration of the resultant disease as a pandemic on March 2020. Predisposing factors for acquiring COVID-19 and for developing a severe form of this disease were postulated to be related to the epidemiological, clinical, and genetic characteristics of the patients. Biological markers such as the ABO blood group system were amongst these factors that were proposed to be linked to the variability in the disease course and/or the prevalence of the infection among different groups. Herein, we conducted the first retrospective case-control study from the Middle East and North Africa that tackles the association between the blood group types and the susceptibility to, as well as the severity of, SARS-CoV-2 infection. Contrary to the most acknowledged hypothesis, our results challenged the significance of this association and questioned the role of the ABO blood group system in dictating the severity of this disease. For future similar studies, we endorsed analyzing larger cohorts among different populations and we encouraged implementing more rigorous approaches to diminish the potential confounding effect of some underlying comorbidities and genetic variants that are known to be associated with the ABO blood group system.
