The role of ABO blood groups in the carriage rate of dermatophytosis was studied. Blood grouping was done for 108 culture-proven dermatophytosis patients. Forty-nine patients belonged to blood group A, 54 to blood group O, three to blood group B and two to blood group AB. The incidence of dermatophytosis was found to be high in patients of blood group O and A. However, chronicity of the disease was more frequent in those in blood group A. The control group consisted of 100 healthy subjects. Sixteen out of 29 control subjects belonging to blood group A had a history of skin infections. None of the O blood group control subjects had a history of skin infections. Our study suggests that A blood group subjects may be prone to chronic dermatophytosis.
研究了ABO血型在皮肤癣菌病携带率中的作用。对108例经培养证实的皮肤癣菌病患者进行了血型鉴定。49例患者属于A型血,54例属于O型血,3例属于B型血,2例属于AB型血。发现O型血和A型血患者的皮肤癣菌病发病率较高。然而,A型血患者的疾病慢性化更为常见。对照组由100名健康受试者组成。29名A型血对照组受试者中有16人有皮肤感染史。O型血对照组受试者均无皮肤感染史。我们的研究表明,A型血受试者可能易患慢性皮肤癣菌病。
