“…There was no significant correlation between malaria and blood group. This agrees with the findings of [36]. However, there was a significant correlation between malaria parasitemia and age as children were observed to be more prone to malaria compared to adults and this is similar to the findings of Schwartz et al [37].…”

The ABO blood group system is the most clinically recognized blood group and it is made up of A, B, AB and O antigens. Many studies have been done to determine the relationship between malaria and the ABO blood group system in terms of the susceptibility, intensity, resistance and frequency of the disease among the various blood groups and there have been variations in the findings thus; this study sought to determine the prevalence of malaria among the various blood groups among the residents of the Adentan municipality. A cross-sectional study was conducted and 208 participants were enrolled, out of which 147 (70.7%) and 61(29.3%) were females and males respectively and 194 (93.3%) and 14 (6.7%) participants were adults and children respectively. There were 69 malaria cases of which 13 (18.8%) were children and 56 (81.2%) were adults. 40.58% out of the 69 malaria cases were males while 59.42% were females respectively. Malaria was most prevalent among blood group O Rh positive (44%) and less in blood group B negative (0%). Blood group O positive (41%) was more prevalent among the residents. There was significant correlation between malaria and gender and malaria and age distribution (P=0.012 and P<0.00) respectively. In conclusion, children and the female gender type are more prone to malaria parasitemia than adults and the male gender type. Age is a significant risk factor in malaria infections. Although there was no significant relationship between malaria and blood group, malaria was most prevalent among those with blood group O Rh positive. Blood group O positive was the most common among the participants.

“…This result is in agreement with the findings done in Sri Lanka, 32 Sudan, 33 and across different corners of Ethiopia. 19,22,34 However, this study was contrary to the findings conducted in China, 35 Burkina Faso, 36 Ghana 37 and Nigeria 38 which reported malaria infection was generally higher in O blood groups than other blood groups. This discrepancy in results could due to…”

Background Hematological abnormalities are a common complication of malaria infection. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding it among malaria-infected adult patients in association with the ABO blood group in Ethiopia, particularly in the Harari Region. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the hematological abnormalities among malaria-infected adult patients in association with ABO blood groups at Jinella Health Center, Harar, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 10, 2022, to January 10, 2023. Four milliliters of venous blood were collected from each study participant. Drops of blood were used for blood film preparation. ABO blood group was determined by agglutination test using monoclonal anti-sera (Agape Diagnostics Ltd., India). A complete blood count was done using the DxH 800 (Beckman Coulter, Inc, Miami, FL) hematology analyzer. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted. The level of significance was declared at a p-value of <0.05. Results The study revealed that 47.2% (95% CI: 41.0 53.6) of the participants were anemic. Being female (AOR = 3.18, 95% CI = 1.67, 6.04), having the A blood group (AOR = 2.75, CI = 1.20, 6.31), and being infected with P. falciparum (AOR = 2.64, CI = 1.26, 5.53) were all significantly associated with malaria anemia. The overall prevalence of thrombocytopenia was also 67.7% (95% CI: 61.7–73.4%). It was significantly associated with P. falciparum infection (AOR = 8.03, CI = 3.53, 18.25) and high parasitemia levels (AOR = 4.40, CI = 1.57, 12.32). Conclusion Patients with malaria who belonged to the “A” blood group in the study area had anemia as a serious health problem. Hence, frequently checking for anemia in patients with malaria who have blood group “A” can help with early detection and better management of anemia.

“…Various studies have been performed on the effect of blood groups on the incidence and severity of different infectious diseases. A study examining the link between malaria and blood types in China found that blood type O (38.38%) had the highest prevalence among patients with malaria, but no statistically significant relationship was found between blood groups and malaria prevalence, 30 whereas in another study on the issue, the most common blood type was B. 31 In an epidemiological study of 34 hospital staff who became infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) after being exposed to a single patient, most of the infected people (23/34) had non-O blood types (A, B, and AB), and group O individuals are more resistant to SARS-CoV due to ABO antibodies.…”

Relationship Between the Prevalence of Blood Groups and Severity of Leptospirosis: A Case-Control Study

Introduction: The correlation between the prevalence and severity of leptospirosis with blood groups has not been investigated so far, but several studies have been conducted to link the infectious diseases with blood groups. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of blood type in patients with leptospirosis and its association with disease severity. Methods: This is a case-control study performed on hospitalized patients with the diagnosis of leptospirosis in Mazandaran province, Iran, in 2018. The control group was selected from among the families of patients. Blood groups (ABO and Rh) and severity of the disease were assessed. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22. Results: A total of 300 people (150 in the case and 150 in the control) enrolled in the study. The mean age was 44.35 ± 15.39 years and 81.3% were men. The highest frequency of blood type in both groups was O+, A+, and B+, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of blood groups ( P = .037). Comparison between severity of disease and blood types (ABO, Rh) showed no significant difference ( P > .05). Conclusions: According to our study, O+ was the most common among patients with leptospirosis. The frequency of O in patients was significantly higher than in the control group, but there was no significant relationship between leptospirosis and Rh. The prevalence of this blood type was higher in people with a severe form of the disease. Finally, there is no statistically significant difference between the severity of the disease and ABO and Rh.
