1. The agglutination of human erythrocytes and the precipitation of the blood group A substance by Type XIV antipneumococcus horse serum are properties of the specific anticarbohydrate immune bodies in the serum. 2. Absorption of Type XIV antipneumococcus horse serum with the homologous bacterial polysaccharide removes the agglutinins for human erythrocytes as well as the precipitins for the group A substance. 3. Absorption of Type XIV antipneumococcus horse serum with the group A substance markedly diminishes the ability of the serum to agglutinate erythrocytes of all groups. 4. Absorption of Type XIV antipneumococcus horse serum with human erythrocytes causes a marked diminution in the precipitation with group A substance. 5. The chemical and immunological relationship between the specific substances of blood group A and the Type XIV Pneumococcus is discussed.

Abstract Background A few people infected by the coronavirus become seriously ill, while others show little to no signs of the symptoms, or are asymptomatic. Recent researches are pointing to the fact that the ABO blood group might play an important role in a person’s susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 infection. Aim of the study: try to understand the relationship between ABO groups and COVID-19 (susceptibility and severity). Results A total of (507) patients were included in this study. The study population was divided based on the ABO blood group into types A+, A−, B+, AB, O+, and O−. Blood group A was associated with high susceptibility of infection: group A, 381 (75.1%); and less common in group O, 97 (19.2%), group B, 18 (3.5%), and group AB, 11 (2.2%). The severity of COVID-19 infection was common in non-blood group O where (20 (7.1%), 4 (26.7%), 2 (11%), and 1 (9%) in type A+, A−, B+, and AB, respectively), while in type O 3.1%. And mechanically ventilated patients were 22 (5.9%), 2 (13.4%), 2 (11.1%), and 1 (1%). Mortality was high in blood groups A and B, 16 (4.37%) and 1 (5.5%), respectively, while in blood group O, it was 1%. Conclusion The incidence, severity, and mortality of COVID-19 were common in non-blood group O. While blood group O was protected against COVID-19.
