Blood group and shigellosis. Journal of the Association of Physicians of India. 1991 Jun; 39(6): 452-3http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/89069A study on the distribution of ABO blood groups was carried out on 85 patients with clinically and bacteriologically proven shigellosis. A significant association (P less than 0.01) of blood group B was observed with shigellosis cases in comparison to controls from whom no Shigella species or other enteropathogen could be isolated. Patients with isoagglutinin B or those who possess blood group B antigen may be at a relatively increased risk of shigellosis.engABO Blood-Group SystemAdolescentAdultChildDysentery, Bacillary --bloodHumansJournal Article
