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

The hypothesis has been advanced (Pettenkofer and Bickerich, I96o) that vaccinia virus and, by implication, variola virus contain antigenic properties similar to human blood group A substance. Vogel, Pettenkofer, and Helmbold (I960) assert that possession by variola virus of a material serologically resembling human blood group A substance may have been responsible, in part, for determining the...

IN a combined series of 620 patients with carcinoma of the pancreas collected from many centres in the British Isles (Aird, Lee, and Roberts, 1960) it was found that there was evidence of some strength that carcinoma of the pancreas was commoner in persons of group A than in persons of blood group 0 or B. However, they stressed that it was possible that some of these cases may have been due to ...

The relationship between blood groups and some infections such as norovirus, cholera, and malaria has been reported. Despite the importance of brucellosis, there is a lack of data on the relationship between blood groups and brucellosis. Thus, in this study, we examined the relationship between blood groups and brucellosis. In this case-control study, the blood groups of 100 patients with bruce...

ABO histo-blood group antigens have been postulated to modify pathogen spread through the action of natural antibodies and complement. The antigens are generated by a polymorphic glycosyltransferase encoded by 2 dominant active and a recessive inactive allele. In this study we investigated whether ABO sugars are incorporated into the envelope of HIV-1 virions. HIV vectors derived from cells exp...

ABO blood groups have been associated with various disease phenotypes, particularly cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death in developed countries and their prevalence rate is rapidly growing in developing countries. There have been substantial historical associations between non-O blood group status and an increase in some cardiovascular disorders. ...

This study compares the frequency of ABO blood group distribution between 184 patients with renal parenchymal diseases and 3,820 apparently healthy subjects. The renal diseases were confirmed by renal biopsy studies in all patients. The distribution of renal patients among the blood groups was significantly different (p less than 0.01) from the blood group distribution of normal subjects. The d...

The fact that those who lack the blood group antigen A have anti-A antibody, and those who lack B have anti-B (Landsteiner, 1900, 1901), leads in a number of cases to an incompatibility between maternal serum and foetal antigens inherited from the father. Such serologically incompatible pregnancies have been thought to be a possible cause of various morbid conditions in foetus or mother (e.g., ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the distribution of ABO blood groups in women with ovarian cancer differs from that in the general population in a large, defined English region. DESIGN Analysis of record abstracts of hospital care held in the Oxford record linkage study supplemented with data from the Oxford cancer registry. SETTING Oxford Regional Health Authority area. SUBJECTS A total o...
