“…P1 and P2 phenotypes of the P blood group system, excess of Rh negativity, excess of Lewis Lea-b-, excess of salivary ABH non-secretors, and excess of HLA A2, A3, but lack of HLA A10, B5, BW6, BW35 are the samples for these studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Additionally, the correlation of A/AB phenotypes with Staphylococcus Saprofiticus induced UTI, A phenotype with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa-induced otitis externa, and A phenotype with Schistosomia Haematobium infections were reported [22,23]. In a contradiction with these studies, Albarus et al [7] and Schaffer et al [24] could not confirmed the previous findings suggesting different susceptibility to UTI based on phenotypes of several genetic markers.…”

“…Some studies have suggested that ABO blood groups have an impact on the infection status of an individual [7][8][9][10]. Pizzorno and Murray stated that malaria infected RBCs sometimes bind to uninfected RBCs to form clumps called rosettes [11].…”

Background: Transmission of Malaria by blood transfusion remains a significant public health problem in the malaria endemic regions like Nigeria. This study therefore was to investigate Plasmodium malaria and ABO blood group among blood donors in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Materials and methods:Prevalence of malaria infection was determined on 250 randomly selected blood donors (201 males and 49 females) using standard parasitological method and ABO blood group was done using the monoclonal antisera A, B, and D (murex Diagnostic, inc, Dartford, UK) on a slide and observing for agglutination. Results:The overall prevalence was 91(36.4%) out of which 84(41.8%) were males and 7(14.3%) were females. Prevalence of infection in relation to age showed that subjects within age's 24-29 years were more infected with 48.6%. Followed by those within ages 30-35 years with 42.9%, and those within 42-47 years with 30.4% while the least infected age group were those within the ages 18-24 years with 23.7% rate of infections. ABO blood group of the population sampled showed that Blood group O+ was the most prevalent with 119(47.6%) followed by blood group B+ with 62(24.8%) and A+ with 31(12.4%) while the least prevalent was AB-with 0 prevalence. The prevalence of infection in relation to ABO blood group showed that blood group O+ had the highest prevalence with 42.9% followed by blood group A+ with 41.9% and groups AB+ and A-both tied with 33.3% while the least prevalence was recorded in blood group AB-with zero prevalence. The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:The prevalence of malaria infection among blood donors is high and blood group O harbours more parasite than any other blood group in Bayelsa State.

“…One of the host factors implicated in the variation in helminth infection across settings is the ABO blood group (Khattab et al, 1968;Camus et al, 1977;Pareira et al, 1979;Trangle et al, 1979;Ndamba et al, 1997). However, the nature of this association remains uncertain (Gabr & Mandour, 1991;Cooper et al, 1993;Ndamba et al, 1997).…”

The association between multiple intestinal helminth infections and blood group, anaemia and nutritional status in human populations from Dore Bafeno, southern Ethiopia

In this cross-sectional study, the associations between helminth infections and ABO blood group, anaemia and undernutrition were investigated in 480 febrile outpatients who visited Dore Bafeno Health Centre, southern Ethiopia, in December 2010. Stool specimens were processed using the Kato-Katz method and examined for intestinal helminth infections. Haemoglobin level was measured using a HemoCue machine and blood group was determined using an antisera haemagglutination test. Nutritional status of the study participants was assessed using height and weight measurements. Among the study participants, 50.2% were infected with intestinal helminths. Ascaris lumbricoides (32.7%), Trichuris trichiura (12.7%), Schistosoma mansoni (11.9%) and hookworm (11.0%) were the most frequently diagnosed helminths. The odds of infection and mean eggs per gram of different intestinal helminth species were comparable between the various blood groups. Among individuals who were infected with intestinal helminth(s), the mean haemoglobin level was significantly lower in individuals harbouring three or more helminth species and blood type AB compared to cases with double or single helminth infection and blood type O, respectively. The odds of being underweight was significantly higher in A. lumbricoides and T. trichiura infected individuals of age ≤ 5 and ≥ 20 years, respectively, when compared to individuals of the matching age group without intestinal helminths. In conclusion, infection with multiple intestinal helminths was associated with lower haemoglobin level, which was more severe in individuals with blood type AB. Future studies should focus on mechanisms by which blood group AB exacerbates the helminth-related reduction in mean haemoglobin level.
