Confirmed the relationship of blood groups to the severity of coronavirus

Blood type can play a key role in how severe the disease is caused by a coronavirus, a new type. This conclusion was made by scientists in China, USA and Iran, conducting independent research. The greatest risk of severe disease due to coronavirus are the carriers of blood group A (II), while the lowest risk of severe disease in carriers of the group O (I).

Virologist, doctor of medical Sciences Anatoly Alstein in an interview with NSN said in this regard on the part of doctors to the holders of the second group of blood should be increased control of the disease.

“Between the blood group and the severity of disease visible link, there are a number of scientific publications proving that people with the second group of blood more likely to have diseases occur, they are heavier. And if such a pattern is established, we need to more careful monitoring of the patient. But, unfortunately, we have no medicine that would help in increasing the disease. But you can ease the disease by infusion of normal saline. The second group of blood should be under special medical supervision,” — said the source NSN.
