Blood groups in patients with respiratory tuberculosis

Abstract

The distribution of blood groups of the ABO system was studied in 455 patients with various forms of tuberculosis and 3321 healthy donors. It was found that blood type B (III) was more common in patients (27.9%) than in healthy (21.3%). The severe course of the tuberculosis process in the lungs was observed mainly in patients with blood group B (III), while in those with blood group AB (IV), the disease was productive.
