Introduction: COVID 19 pandemic caused by SARS-COV2 virus has taken a toll all over the world. The susceptibility of various diseases like Helicobacter Pylori, Hepatitis B virus and Norwalk Virus and even SARS Corona Virus 1 have been associated with ABO blood groups. However, very limited data is available regarding the COVID 19 susceptibility and ABO blood groups. Methods: In the present report we investigated 500 admitted patients who were RTPCR positive for corona virus. Significant Tests were applied to study association of blood groups vis a vis disease severity, ICU admissions and assisted ventilation. Results:  We found out that Type A blood group is more susceptible to severe COVID 19 infection, even though maximum patients were of type B blood group. We also found that type A blood group needed more ICU admission and assisted ventilation then non type A groups and difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Patients with type A blood group COVID 19 patients with type A blood group might require more vigilant surveillance and aggressive treatment measures. Further studies are required to validate the disease susceptibility.

In patients of head and neck cancers, the occurrence of multiple primary cancers in various organs, while rare, has been observed. This report delves into the infrequent discovery of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in cervical lymph nodes during neck dissection for patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Some patients may present with primary lesions in the thyroid gland, while others may not exhibit any evident malignant thyroid lesions. The factors contributing to this clinical phenomenon and the connection between tongue SCC and PTC in cervical lymph nodes remain unclear, posing a clinical dilemma for surgeons in deciding between thyroid surgery and follow-up care. In this case report, a 35-year-old male with tongue SCC underwent hemiglossectomy and neck dissection, during which an incidental metastatic PTC in a cervical lymph node was discovered. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis. Notably, despite investigations for thyroid tumors, the patient showed no palpable mass. This case contributes to the limited literature on lateral aberrant thyroid tissue discovered during neck dissection for non-thyroid cancers. A comprehensive review underscores the potential of malignant metastases and highlights the importance of evaluating the presence of concurrent double cancer before initiating treatment for oral cancer. Thorough scrutiny of dissected lymph nodes is crucial, and the choice between surgical intervention and surveillance depends on clinical and radiological tumor characteristics.
