Anonymous Coward User ID: 38867525 United States 02/27/2020 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)] Quoting: I_am_who_I_am From Study (About 1/4 down the page) SARS and ABO "Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV), an RNA virus. The original SARS outbreak in the winter of 2002 to 2003 infected >8,000 individuals worldwide, with a fatality rate of 10% (292). Like other human coronaviruses, SARS-CoV infects the mucosal epithelium, causing an acute respiratory illness often accompanied by gastroenteritis. In a Hong Kong outbreak, there was an apparent association between disease transmission and ABO type (293). An epidemiology study of 34/45 hospital workers who contracted SARS after exposure to a single index patient showed that most of the infected individuals (23/34) were non-group O individuals (groups A, B, and AB). Group O individuals were relatively resistant to infection, with an OR of 0.18 (95% CI, 0.04 to 0.81; P = 0.03)." . . . "Based on both epidemiologic and in vitrostudies, Guillon et al. hypothesized that group O individuals are more resistant to SARS-CoV due to ABO antibodies and could decrease the rate of infection throughout the population (292). The degree of protection, however, may be influenced by the ABO antibody titer, secretor status, and incidence of group O in the population. Studies with human anti-A showed effective blocking with higher-titer anti-A (≥1:256) only; low-titer anti-A was ineffective (292). The latter finding has implications for individuals in industrialized countries, who tend to have low ABO titers (89). A nonsecretor phenotype would also nullify viral neutralization, since virus transmitted from a nonsecretor lacks ABH expression." Guess the kids are screwed. They re AB - not o |
