Vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies are major causes of megaloblastic anemia. Causes of B12 deficiency include pernicious anemia, gastric surgery, intestinal disorders, dietary deficiency, and inherited disorders of B12 transport or absorption. The prevalence of folate deficiency has decreased because of folate fortification, but deficiency still ...

In six patients, eight episodes of anemia associated with folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency were unaccompanied by macrocytosis. Six of the eight episodes of anemia were complicated by illnesses of an inflammatory or infectious nature, two patients had iron deficiency, two appeared to have a thalassemia trait, and one had severe renal failure.
