Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Epidemiological evidence is summarized for associations of ABO blood group and secretor status with susceptibility to invasive disease due to capsulate organisms responsible for the majority of bacterial meningitis. Host-parasite interactions that might underly these findings are proposed and evidence to support or refute them provided.
