Assessment of White Blood Cell in Abo Blood System of Blood Group Among Students: A Study in Bauchi State University Gadau Main Campus (Published)
ABO blood system relationship to infections and other pathological conditions Individuals with certain types of ABO blood groups are more susceptible to diverse kinds of infections. Blood grouping has been one of the major factors for identification of biological materials in forensic investigations and is a widely used technique in forensic laboratories. The presence of ABO blood group and Rhesus factor is applied to inherited antigens detected on red cell surface by specific antibodies. WBC count is the number of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and immature or atypical cells present in 1 mL of blood, Elevation of the WBC requires accurate differential count and morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear along with clinical information to determine the cause. The normal range percentage of the different types of WBCs is as follows: Neutrophils 50-70% Eosinophils 1-4% Basophils 0.4% Monocytes 2-8% Lymphocytes 20-40%A total number of 60 healthy subjects were used for the research, they comprise 16, 14, 8, 22 (A, B, AB and O) respectively with white blood cell counts and Rhesus factor were analyzed. All patients were subjected to differential white blood cell which was carried out in the laboratory. Result was statistically analyzed by Microsoft excel and SPSS. We observed that blood group O had significantly higher values of white blood cell count with p value of <0.05. White blood cell count is more significant in O+ blood group irrespective of their gender but differ in ethnicity.
