Corona excludes the owners of this blood group and has compassion on them

It seems that some people with specific blood groups are lucky in the battle against the epidemic that has affected millions around the world and is still continuing In the expansion, recording new mutations in several countries, this is confirmed by two recent studies published recently.

These two studies, by scientists in Denmark and Canada, provided further evidence that blood type may play a role in a person's susceptibility to infection and chance of severe illness, although the reasons for this link remain unclear and require further research to determine the effects. on patients

blood type O

In details, according to what CNN reported, a Danish study found that out of the 7422 people who tested positive for corona, only 38.4% of them were of blood type O. Also, researchers in Canada found in a separate study that among 95 patients with the condition With corona virus critical, a higher proportion of blood type A or AB require ventilators than patients with type O or B.

The Canadian study also found that people with blood type A or AB spent longer in the intensive care unit, averaging 13.5 days, compared to those with blood type O or B, who averaged nine days.

Commenting on these findings, Maybinder Sekhon, an intensive care physician at Vancouver General Hospital and author of the Canadian study, explained: "This finding does not replace other severe risk factors such as age, co-morbidity, etc."

The role of blood and infection

She also confirmed that this does not mean panic or escape, saying: "If someone is of blood type A, there is no need to panic, and if you are of blood type O, this also does not mean that you can slip away and go recklessly to crowded places."

However, the results of the two new studies provide "more converging evidence that blood type may play a role in a person's susceptibility to infection with the emerging virus," according to Amish Adalja, a senior researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in Baltimore, who was not involved in either.

And an American company specialized in genetic research, indicated that its research indicated that people with blood type O enjoy greater protection against the emerging virus compared to others.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine last June also indicated that genetic data in some patients and healthy people showed that people with blood group A were more likely to develop infections, unlike group O.

It is noteworthy that many studies are still trying to dive into the corridors of this epidemic, which appeared last December in China, and is still in force, pending the emergence of a vaccine to stop its progress.
