Diagnosis of megaloblastic anaemias

Blood Reviews, 2006
There are a large number of causes of megaloblastic anaemia. The most frequent are disorders resulting in vitamin B(12) or folate deficiency. The diagnostic process often consists first of establishing the presence of B(12) or folate deficiency and then of determining the cause of deficiency. The blood count, blood film, serum B(12) assay, and red cell

Concealed megaloblastic anaemia

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1959
Abstract During the study of some 1,300 patients in Malaya suffering from nutritional anaemia, 25 presented with signs of a pure iron-deficiency anaemia, including a normoblastic bone marrow picture.

Thymidylate concentration in megaloblastic anaemia

Nature, 1974
MEGALOBLASTIC anaemia is thought to be caused by a disturbance of DNA synthesis in the bone marrow. The most common causes are deficiencies of folate or vitamin B12 which are thought to interfere directly or indirectly with supply of thymidine triphosphate (dTTP, thymidylate) one of the four immediate precursors of DNA1,2 (Fig. 1).
