abstract

abo blood type antigens are polymorphic, inherited structures presented on the surface of red blood cells. although abo blood group antigens is the most important antigens in transfusion medicine, its main role is not clearly clarified. correlation between abo blood group and susceptibility to certain infectious and non-infectious diseases is a controversial issue. since, lack of blood type antigens has not been related to significant diseases or health risks. there are many research studies that suffice to prove that blood antigens are biologically active, carbohydrate structures involving to the “cell physiology and human pathology”. this review summarizes the available data concerning the blood group antigens correlation with different aspects of health. we therefore investigated that certain blood type antigens can affect susceptibility to diseases or make a phenotype resistant.

abo and rh blood groups in cardiovascular diseases, from iran

abo and rh blood groups were studied in a total of 1680 patients with cardiovascular diseases (congenital n=547, valvular n=887 and coronary n=246). statistical analysis (x2and woolf’s test) showed significant excess of b/o in mitral valve, aortic valve total valvular diseases and heart diseases generally, also an increase of a/o in myocardial infarction. significant increase of the frequency o...

Peripheral blood smear in infection and inflammatory diseases

Peripheral blood smear study is very useful tool in early diagnosis of some infection and inflammatory diseases. In present article morphological changes of blood cells will be discussed in general infection and in viral infection such as HIV, H1N1 influenza and parvovirus B19. Physiologic and emergency granulopoesis will also be discussed.
