Levine (1943, 1958a, b, 1959) observed that Rh isoimmunization of Rh-negative women was relatively much morecommon inwomen with ABO-compatible husbands than in women with ABO-incompatible husbands. This observation has implications with regard to the incidence of the ABO blood groups in affected families, and certain of these implications were first noted by Lucia and Hunt (1950a, b) in respect...

Background and Aim: One of the main goals of blood transfusion medicine is to determine the compatibility of the blood products with the patients. Therefore, clinical and laboratory (serologic) evaluations should be done to determine the maximum compatibility (or minimum incompatibility). The most known blood groups is the ABO antigenic system and the most important of them is Rh system. Among ...

A cross sectional study among Al-Najaf province population related to blood group distribution showed that the ABO and Rh (D) blood groups distribution among 1628 young adult males 698 (42.9%) and females 930 (57.1%) from different locations in AlNajaf in Iraq. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture method. The blood was transferred into laboratory were tested for both the blood groups by...

OBJECTIVE Aim of our study was to evaluate distribution of ABO and Rh blood type groups in children after hip surgery regarding transfusion administration and fever presence. METHODS Four types of ABO blood groups (A; B; AB; O) and 2 types of Rh blood groups (Rh+; Rh-) were evaluated in group with administered transfusion (tr+) and without given transfusion (tr-); and in group with fever (fev...

Background: ABO blood group antigens may play a role in the pathophysiology of certain diseases. Several studies have investigated the relation between blood group and autoimmune disorders. In this research, we evaluated the associations between ABO blood types and rhesus (Rh) factor in pemphigus patients.Methods: In this case-control, hospital-based study, we evaluated the prevalence of blood ...

Background. Determination of the various ABO/Rh blood group distributions and their association with malaria infection has paramount importance in the context of transfusion medicine and malaria control. Methods. Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to June, 2015, to assess ABO/Rh blood groups distribution and their association with asymptomatic malaria. A structured...

The evolution of human blood groups, without doubt, has a history as old as man himself. There are at least three hypotheses about the emergence and mutation of human blood groups. Global distribution pattern of blood groups depends on various environmental factors, such as disease, climate, altitude, humidity etc. In this survey, the collection of main blood groups ABO and Rh, along with some ...

Prevalence of ABO and RH Blood Groups in Hospitalized Patients with Covid 19 its Relationship Patients' Prognosis

Many diseases and genetic disorders are associated with ABO and Rh systems of blood antigens. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood groups in District Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan so that the results could be used for further application. A total of 9891 subjects including patients and healthy individual were sampled only belonging to District Rahim Yar Kh...
