“…Significantly higher prevalences of adult asthma were observed in Le-negative or non-secretor subjects of blood group O (4). On the contrary, a lack of association between asthma and the ABO system was found in the study conducted in India (11). In Brazil, the patients with allergic rhinitis and controls were compared according to the frequencies of the ABO phenotypes.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine ABO and RhD blood group distribution in nasal polyposis (NP) patients and whether there is a specific ABO or RhD blood phenotype associated with susceptibility to or protection with respect to development of NP. Methods:The study group comprised 126 consecutive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and bilateral NP. The control group comprised 126 healthy blood donors. All participants were from the same geographical region. Distribution of ABO and RhD phenotypes in all participants was studied.Results: There were no significant differences between patients and controls in the distribution of the A (p=0.520), B (p=0.306), AB (p=0.673), O (p=0.894), and RhD (p=0.742) phenotypes. Conclusion:According to the present results, the ABO and RhD blood group systems are not associated with development of NP.

“…(7) Associations between the ABO and Secretor systems and asthma have also been observed in Italian (8) and Taiwanese children (9) but not in Indian adults. (10) Despite these contradictory results observed among patients suffering from asthma, studies associating these genetic markers with allergic rhinitis are scarce.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to verify if ABO phenotypes are associated with allergic rhinitis.Methods168 patients with allergic rhinitis and 168 control individuals from the same geographical region and paired by gender and age were enrolled in the study. ABO phenotypes were identified in red blood cells using the hemagglutination technique. The Fisher exact and chi-squared tests were employed to compare proportions. Statistical significance was set for an alpha error of 5% (p-value < 0.05).ResultsThe overall differences in the frequencies of the ABO phenotypes of patients and controls were marginal (χ2: 7.569; degrees of freedom (DF): 3; p-value = 0.055) however the O blood group was associated with allergic rhinitis (χ2: 5.764; DF: 1; p-value = 0.016; OR: 1.735; CI 95%: 1.127-2.673). The differences in the frequencies of the O phenotype in patients and controls were statistically different for men (χ2: 8.520; DF: 1; p-value = 0.003) but not for women (χ2: 0.6375; DF: 1; p-value = 0.4246). The A phenotype was associated with protection (OR: 0.4385; CI 95%: 0.2043-0.9415; p-value = 0.049) and the O phenotype was associated with susceptibility (OR = 2.789; CI 95%: 1.385-5.616; p-value = 0.005) to allergic rhinitis only for men.ConclusionThe O blood group phenotype is associated with allergic rhinitis in male but not in female patients.

On the contrary, other publications reported no significant differences between asthma and any blood group in ABO [15,16]. Recently performed studies evaluating the relationship between ABO blood group status and allergic diseases have indicated a strong association with red meat allergy, and the B-negative blood groups after tick bites.…”

Introduction. Numerous publications indicate that the prevalence of some infectious, neoplastic and immunological diseases are associated with ABO blood groups. Objective. The aim of this study was to verify whether ABO and Rh blood groups are associated with severe anaphylactic reactions after Hymenoptera stings. Materials and Method. A study was undertaken of 71,441 Caucasian subjects living in the same geographic area. The study group included 353 patients with diagnosed systemic anaphylaxis to Hymenoptera venom. Control group included 71,088 healthy blood donors. Frequencies of ABO and Rhesus groups in the study and control groups were compared using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results. No statistically significant interactions were observed between the ABO blood group and anaphylactic reactions to Hymenoptera.
