“…However, Hamza et al are not in agreement with our results, where no correlation was found between the risk of RV-GE and type “A” blood group or even any other type of blood group ( p > 0.05) [ 23 ].…”

IntroductionRotavirus gastroenteritis is an important public health problem all over the world, causing a notable economic burden in both developing and developed countries.AimTo explore the relationship between blood group typing, rotavirus gastroenteritis, and its severity in Egyptian children.Material and methodsA cross sectional case control study was conducted on 231 cases of acute gastroenteritis attending the outpatient clinic of Al-Zahraa University Hospital. Full history taking, clinical examination, and clinical data collection were done. Blood samples were collected for an ABO grouping. Stool samples were tested for viral gastroenteritis agents.ResultsRota positive cases of GE were significantly more prevalent among cases with blood group A (p < 0.05) and significantly less among cases with blood group B (p < 0.05). The rate of hospitalisation was highly significantly greater among cases with group A (p < 0.005), and significantly lower among cases with group AB and O (p < 0.05). As regards the degree of dehydration, moderate and severe cases were highly significant in groups A and O (p < 0.005). Rota-positive gastroenteritis showed significant positive correlations with indicators of severity such as hospitalisation, degree of dehydration, and duration of fever (p < 0.005).ConclusionsBlood group A is highly associated with paediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis. This could highlight an important risk factor, which could play a significant role for the pathogenesis of rotavirus gastroenteritis and severity as well. Furthermore, more intervention care could be needed for blood group A paediatric patients, if gastroenteritis especially rotavirus affect this group to avoid comorbidities.

“…However, it is notable that major rotavirus strain variations in HBGA recognition were detected. The relevant human clinical strain Wa did not recognize HBGAs, which is consistent with the observed lack of influence of genetically controlled expression of different HBGAs on pediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis 46,47 . Interestingly, two recent studies suggested that non-secretor individuals (null homozygote fucosyltransferase, FUT2) are not susceptible to infection with the most common rotaviruses 48,49 .…”

“…Of note, the HBGA binding profile is P genotype–dependent ( 4 ), and rotavirus infection correlates with the secretor and partial secretor phenotype (i.e., with active FUT2 gene status) ( 5 , 6 , 9 ). However, in some studies, no association has been observed between HBGAs from blood cells ( 10 ), including Lewis antigens ( 11 ), and rotavirus infection. A recent epidemiologic survey of children in the region of Monastir, Tunisia, gave us the opportunity to determine whether rotavirus infections in children could be linked to secretor status and HBGAs.…”

To determine whether rotavirus infections are linked to secretor status, we studied samples from children in Tunisia with gastroenteritis. We phenotyped saliva for human blood group antigens and tested feces for rotavirus. Rotavirus was detected in 32/114 patients. Secretor genotyping showed that P[8] rotavirus infected secretors and nonsecretors, and infection correlated with presence of Lewis antigen.
