Abstract
Relationship between Helicobacter Pylori Infection and ABO Blood Group
Highlights
Karl Landsteiner first discovered ABO blood group in 1901
There were no local data on the epidemiology of helicobacter pylori infection in the eastern region of Afghanistan; the aim of this study was to verify the incidence of seropositive helicobacter pylori infection among patients with dyspepsia symptoms and to verify the frequencies of ABO blood groups in Helicobacter pylori seropositive symptomatic patients
Helicobacter pylori prevalence across gender was obtained using chi square test, Helicobacter pylori was more prevalent in males
Summary
Karl Landsteiner first discovered ABO blood group in 1901. The association of ABO blood groups with some infectious and non-infectious diseases has been described in the literature [1-2]. Many epidemiological studies have found that non-secretors of ABO blood groups and individuals with blood group O appeared the most among patients with dyspepsia [6-8]. There were no local data on the epidemiology of helicobacter pylori infection in the eastern region of Afghanistan; the aim of this study was to verify the incidence of seropositive helicobacter pylori infection among patients with dyspepsia symptoms and to verify the frequencies of ABO blood groups in Helicobacter pylori seropositive symptomatic patients. The aim of this study was to verify the incidence of seropositive Helicobacter pylori infection among patients with dyspepsia symptoms and to verify the frequencies of ABO blood groups in Helicobacter pylori seropositive patients. Helicobacter pylori positive patients appeared more in patients with blood group O than other group types, their association was not statistically significant.
