Background.
The objective of this study was to investigate the association of the ABO blood group phenotype and allele frequency with CHIK fever.
Methods.
A rural community survey in Southern Thailand was conducted in August and September 2010.
A total of 506 villagers were enrolled.
Cases were defined as individuals having anti-CHIK IgG by hemagglutination ≥1 : 10.
Results.
There were 314 cases (62.1%) with CHIK seropositivity.
Females were less likely to have positive anti-CHIK IgG with odds ratio (OR) (95% CI) of 0.63 (0.43, 0.93).
All samples tested were Rh positive.
Distribution of CHIK seropositivity versus seronegativity (P value) in A, B, AB, and O blood groups was 80 versus 46 (0.003), 80 versus 48 (0.005), 24 versus 20 (0.55), and 130 versus 78 (<0.001), respectively.
However, chi-square test between ABO and CHIK infection showed no statistical significance P=0.76.
Comparison of the ABO blood group allele frequency between CHIK seropositivity and seronegativity was not statistically significant.
Conclusion.
This finding demonstrated no association of the ABO blood group phenotypes and allele frequencies with CHIK infection.
