Abstract

The ABO blood type was discovered by Karl Landsteiner in 1901. The frequency of occurrence of the ABO blood type in Korea was reported in the journal of the Joseon Medical Association in 1922. The status of 54 transfusions at one medical clinic in 1924 was reported at a medical congress in 1925. Many direct transfusion cases in Korea were identified by a literature search for articles published during the 1920s.
