Abstract EN

The relationship between ABO blood groups and dermatophytosis was studied.

Blood grouping was done for 308 dermatophyte-infected patients.

Eighty six patients belonged to blood group A, 68 to blood group B, 34 to blood group AB and 120 to blood group O.

The patients with blood group 0 and A were the most dermatophyte infected persons.

Chronicity of the disease was more frequent in those with blood groups A and O.

Our study suggests that blood group A subjects might be more susceptible to Trichophton mentagrophytes (TM) , Trichophton rubrum (TR) and Epidemophyton floccosum (EF) than others.
