A study of blood group frequencies in malaria patients

Abstract

Malaria is an endemic disease and claims many lives especially in tropical countries. Many studies have been reported where some specific blood groups were linked to the malaria. The frequencies were unknown. Many reports have been done to identify the intensities also. No such studies have been reported in the local population and our study is an effort to find the frequencies of malaria in particular blood groups. This study puts in a sincere effort to find the frequencies of malaria in different ABO blood groups. This is the step one of research and will be reported. Further varieties of malarial parasite and complications associated would be studied in the future and reported.
