Abstract

Background: A study was carried out on students of the University of Dschang, Cameroon, to examine the relationship between ABO blood group, rhesus factor and prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum infection.

Materials and methods: Blood group and rhesus factor were typed by agglutination using antisera while malaria infection was determined using Rapid Diagnostic Test CareStart malaria HRP2 pf. Out of 620 students 582 were screened for ABO blood group and Rhesus factor, and 276 were tested for P. falciparum infection.

Results: Faculty of Science (FS) members and male students were highly represented, with 356 (61.2% ) and 303 (52.1%) participants, respectively. Blood group O was most common (48.8%), followed by blood group A (25.8%), B (23.0%) and AB (2.4%). Total percentage of rhesus positive was 92.4%, and its distribution varied across ABO blood groups. Of the 276 students examined for malaria infection, 27 were found positive (9.8%). Except for blood group AB individuals, of which none were infected, malaria infection did not vary among blood groups.

Conclusion: Rhesus factor and blood group did not impact on malaria infection in the hypo-endemic highland area of Dschang, Cameroon.

喀麦隆 Dschang 大学学生的 ABO/Rhesus 血型系统与疟疾发病率。

背景：本研究以喀麦隆德昌大学的学生为对象，探讨 ABO 血型、恒河猴因子与恶性疟原虫感染率之间的关系：使用抗血清凝集法对血型和恒河猴因子进行分型，同时使用快速诊断测试 CareStart malaria HRP2 pf 测定疟疾感染情况。在 620 名学生中，582 人接受了 ABO 血型和恒河猴因子筛查，276 人接受了恶性疟原虫感染检测：结果：理学院（FS）学生和男生的比例很高，分别为 356 人（61.2%）和 303 人（52.1%）。血型以 O 型最为常见（48.8%），其次是 A 型（25.8%）、B 型（23.0%）和 AB 型（2.4%）。恒河猴阳性的总比例为 92.4%，其分布在 ABO 血型中各不相同。在接受疟疾感染检查的 276 名学生中，有 27 人呈阳性（9.8%）。除了 AB 血型的人没有受到感染外，疟疾感染在不同血型之间没有差异：结论：恒河猴因子和血型对喀麦隆 Dschang 低流行高原地区的疟疾感染没有影响。
