Overview

It is speculated that in adult patients with COVID-19 blood type A is associated with the worst outcome, while blood type O is associated with mild symptoms.To our knowledge, there has been no such a study investigated ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood group types in children with COVID-19 infection yet. Therefore, the study aimed to examine if such a correlation exists in children infected with COVID-19.
