Abstract

Background: ABO and rhesus blood group study is very relevant to the blood transfusion services policy maker and clinicians. ABO and rhesus blood group are the most prevalent blood groups among so many other blood groups discovered. Aims: The aim of this study was to find out the current distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among the blood donors in city of Enugu. Study Design: Two hundred and ninety randomly selected male and female blood donors were grouped according to their ABO and Rh blood group. Place and Duration of Study: Haematology and Immunology Department, College of Medicine, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria: April 2012 to December 2012. Methodology: Two hundred and ninety voluntary blood donors sample were grouped for ABO and Rhesus ‛D’ antigen by tile method. Results: The result showed that blood group O and Rh ‛D’ positive has the highest frequency, there was no blood group AB in the study. Conclusion: Blood group AB is completely absent in this study.
