ABO blood groups in relation to hepatitis-B surface antigen (Australia antigen). 1981

M R Lenka, and E Ghosh, and P K Bhattacharyya

The ABO blood groups and their relationship with Australia antigen (HBsAg) were studied in 500 blood donors and 76 patients. Most of the blood donors belonged to group 'B' while the Australia antigen (HBsAg) was prevalent in the blood group 'A' (9.30%). 76 patients clinically diagnosed as viral hepatitis showed a similar trend, having the highest percentage of HBsAg positivity in 'A' group (35.71%). In both, this was found statistically significant (P greater than 0.005). None of those with AB blood group showed HBsAg.

D006525 Hepatitis, Viral, Human INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
