The ABO blood group and Rh blood group system are associated with many diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, non-infectious diseases, bacterial, and viral diseases. Blood group A and B are found to be more susceptible to COVID-19 infection, while blood group O and AB have a lower risk.
BackgroundABO and Rh blood group systems are associated with many diseases including cancerous, infectious, non-infectious, bacterial and viral diseases. Studies have shown association of blood groups A and O with higher and lower odds for coronavirus disease 2019 positivity, respectively. MethodsThis is a single-center, retrospective study conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi. We investigated the association of ABO and Rh blood groups with susceptibility to coronavirus disease 2019 infection, severity of disease, recovery period, and mortality of patients. Patients were enrolled from April 8, 2020 to October 4, 2020. A total of 2,586 real-time PCR (RT-PCR)-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients were recruited. Data was analyzed using chi-square test, odds ratio, and Mann-Whitney test to determine the association of blood groups. ResultsIn the 2,586 COVID-19-infected patients, the frequencies of A, B, O, and AB were 29.93%, 41.80%, 21.19%, and 7.98%, respectively. Of the patients, 98.07% were Rh positive. Blood group A (odds ratio, 1.53; CI, 1.40-1.66; p < 0.001) and B (odds ratio, 1.15; CI, 1.06-1.24; p < 0.001) is observed to be significantly associated with COVID-19 susceptibility, whereas blood group O (odds ratio, 0.65; CI, 0.59-0.71; p < 0.001) and AB (odds ratio, 0.66; CI, 0.59-0.71; p < 0.001) have low risk of COVID-19 infection. ConclusionA, B, and Rh+ are found to be more susceptible to COVID-19 infection, whereas blood groups O, AB, and Rh- are at a lower risk of COVID-19 infection. No association was found between blood groups and susceptibility to severity of disease and mortality.
