Abstract
The study was conducted to reveal the correlation between human blood groups and infection with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Total number of patients studied was 215 both males and females. Blood groups have definite impact on cutaneous leishmaniasis infection. Blood group A received highest infection 163 patients (75.8 %), group O with 41 patients (19.0%) whereas B with 5 infections (2.3%). Negative blood groups were with miner infections: with 2 patients (0.9%) B with 1 patient (0.45%); and O with 3 patients (1.35%). No patients were found in blood groups AB. These results may suggests that blood group antigens have an import on cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
