Compared to adults, initial symptoms in pediatric cases included higher incidences of fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The key radiological difference between children and adults was the near absence…
Relationship between the ABO Blood Group and the COVID-19 Susceptibility
By comparing blood group distribution in 2,200 COVID-19 cases from Wuhan hospitals and 3,700 controls from corresponding regions, Zhao et al found that ABO blood groups display different association risks for infection with SARS-CoV-2. Consistent with risk patterns of ABO blood groups for other coronavirus infections, group A was associated with an increased risk whereas…
