603 patients suffering from filariasis have been studied for A1A2BO blood groups; 281 for Duffy, Kell and rhesus blood groups; 178 for secretor factor; and 503 for MN blood groups, to find out if there is any association between filariasis and these blood groups. No association, whatsoever, has been found between the blood groups studied and filariasis.
