TITLE:   ABO blood groups distribution among Russell's viper (Vipera russelii) bite patients with systemic envenomation (Short report).
AUTHOR:   Win Aung; San Aye
SOURCE:   Myanmar Health Sciences Research Journal. 2007; 19(2): 113-114
ABSTRACT:   The ABO-blood group distribution is not uncommonly associated with many diseases [1, 2, 3].It is also well documented thatRussell's viper bite envenomation, one of the major health problems in the countries of Southeast Asia region including Myanmar, induces haematological and coagulation changes in victims [4, 5]. However, ABO blood group distribution among the victims of Russell's viper bite envenomation has not been studied yet. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether ABO blood group distribution is related to systemic envenom-mation and various complications in the victims following Russell’s viper bite. This was a hospital-based, non intervention, descriptive study, carried out on Russell's viper bite patients admitted to the Tharyarwady Township Hospital, Bago Division.
