title: ABH secretor status, as judged by the Lewis phenotypes, in Norwegian survivors from meningococcal disease.
abstract: Survivors from meningococcal disease (serogroups B and C) and a control series (blood donors) were examined for their ability to secrete ABH blood group substance. The examination was done indirectly by determining their Lewis phenotypes. There was no significant difference in the secretor status between the two groups.
