[Hereditary blood factors and infectious diseases in children in the 1st 7 years of life].

Infectious morbidity in respect to 23 nosological forms was studied in 958 children with known blood groups and Rh factors during the first 7 years of their life. The absence of statistically significant differences in morbidity rates in children with different age groups was revealed in respect to 16 nosological forms. Significant differences in morbidity rates in children with different blood groups were revealed in respect to parotitis, rubella, scarlet fever, E. coli infections, bronchitis and pneumonia; similar differences linked with Rh factor were observed only in cases of measles, rubella and tonsillitis.
