Abstract

The distribution of blood groups of the ABO system was studied in 455 patients with various forms of tuberculosis and 3321 healthy donors. It was found that blood type B (III) was more common in patients (27.9%) than in healthy (21.3%). The severe course of the tuberculosis process in the lungs was observed mainly in patients with blood group B (III), while in those with blood group AB (IV), the disease was productive.
