Association of ABO and Rh(D) blood groups with filariasis.

C R Srisailapathy1, A Ramesh, J Ganesan.   

Abstract

ABO and Rh blood groups in 344 filarial patients and 320 controls matched with respect to age, community and residence are reported. An excess of B and a deficiency of AB was observed among the filarial patients. The relative risks for the B and AB were 1.53 and 0.36, respectively. Only males showed clearly significant risks. The Rh(D) blood groups revealed no association with filariasis.
