A, B, O, AB blood group distribution of individuals in our province was
39.7%, 18.6%, 33.6% and 8.1%, respectively. Rh (+), Rh (-) blood
group distribution was 88.4% and 11.6%, respectively.
A, B, O, AB blood group distribution of 1667 patients, who were
PCR-positive, was 45.17%, 18.65%, 26.81% and 9.35%, respectively. Rh
(+), Rh (-) blood group distribution was 88.66% and 11.33%,
respectively.
When the blood groups of patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and the
control group were compared, there was an increase in the number of
patients with Covid-19 in blood groups A and AB, a decrease in blood
group O, and it was similar in blood group B and Rh. The statistical
analysis showed that there was a very significant increase in the number
of individuals with blood group A in Covid-19 patients compared to
healthy individuals, and almost a significant increase in the number of
Covid-19 patients with blood group AB and a very significant decrease in
the number of Covid-19 patients with blood group O, and no significant
difference in terms of B and Rh blood group system (Table 1).
