title: The relation between red cell antigens and the occurrence of filariasis and its complications.
abstract: In a trial to assess the role of red cells antigens in pathogenesis of filariasis, 520 individuals from El Korean village were examined clinically to detect clinical filariasis, blood examined by counting chamber to detect microfilaraemic cases and red cell antigens (ABO system, Rh system and MN system) using slide method. The study showed no statistical significance association between filariasis (clinical and microfilaraemic) and red cells antigens.
