Abstract


This study consisted in verifying whether the blood group exerts an influence on the development of malaria in particular. The Beth-Vincent method made it possible to detect the blood group and the rhesus factor in each of the subjects in our survey using “antiserum” reagents. And to detect malaria, it was necessary to use the RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test). 

The sample selected was 272 malaria patients treated at the general referral hospital in the Niadi-Nkara health zone in the territory of Bulungu in the province of Kwilu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The results revealed that: group O: 50.4% malaria patients; group A: 25.7% malaria patients; group B: 12.9% malaria patients; group AB: 11% malaria patients.
