Blood groups and malaria
Montoya, Fabiola; Restrepo, Marcos; Montoya, Astrid E.; Rojas, WilliamThe possible relationship between erythrocyte antigens and the presence of malaria infection by P. vivax and P. falciparurn was sought in four different ethnic groups of two departments of Colombia. Malaria infection by P. falciparum was found in 91.4% of malaria infected blacks. No significant differences were found between the presence of malaria infection and ABO antigens. In the other blood groups, it was o...
HLA and malaria in four colombian ethnic groups
Restrepo, Marcos; Rojas, William; Montoya, Fabiola; Montoya, Asirid E.; Dawson, Deborah V.HLA antigens and their relationship with malaria infection were studied in four different ethnic groups in Colombia (South America): two groups of indians (Kunas and Katios), one of negroes and a group of mixed ancestry. A total of 965 persons were studied, 415 with malaria and 550 as controls. HLA-A,B, and C antigen frequencies in the four groups are reported. The association of each HLA antigen with malaria i...
