Controls.-The controls were drawn from the same population as the patients. The ABO blood group distribution was known for a large series (28,566) of "current" and "resigned" blood donors normally resident in the County Borough of Belfast and these were used as controls. The blood donors' distribution has been used to compute the expected distributions of the patients on the hypothesis that pat...

A serological study was carried out to assess the prevalence of antibodies to Helicobacter pylori and compare it with the distribution of ABO blood groups. Serum samples from 402 healthy blood donors were tested with an IgG enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. There was no difference in blood groups between those who were seropositive and those who were seronegative, which suggests that blood gro...
