Abstract :

Introduction: The ABO blood group system was the first human blood group system to be discovered by Karl Landsteiner in 1900. This pioneering study opened a new chapter in the interest of medical science and anthropology. The ABO blood group system is divided into four groups and is determined by the presence or absence of two distinct antigens, A and B, on the surface of red blood cells. The blood groups are A, B, O and AB. Aims and objectives: This prospective study was aimed to determine the distribution pattern of the ABO and Rh blood groups among the patient reporting to the Department of Microbiology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, RIMS, Ranchi and compare it with other data from similar studies within India and all over the world. Material and methods: The present prospective study work was undertaken in the Department of Microbiology of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences,(RIMS), Ranchi in the duration of September 2017 to October 2018. The institutional ethical committee clearance was obtained for the study of the same. A total of 300 samples were taken from the patients attending to the Department of Microbiology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, (RIMS), Ranchi for the purpose of blood grouping. ABO grouping and Rh typing was done by slide agglutination method. Observatios: Out of total 300 patients, 121 (44.33%) were males and 179(59.67) females. In our study , the most frequently occurring blood group was group B (38.33%) followed by O group (31.00%), A group (23.33%) and AB group (7.34%). 278(92.66%) patients were Rh positive where as only 22 (7.34%) were Rh negative. Discussion and Conclusion: ABO and Rh blood group distribution are important as they play an utmost important role in blood transfusion, organ transplantation, research in the field of genetics, human evolution and forensic examination and investigations.
