Hematinic deficiencies and anemia statuses in antigastric parietal cell antibody-positive erosive oral lichen planus patients with desquamative gingivitis.

CONCLUSION: We conclude that GPCA(+)/DG(+)/EOLP patients may have vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, and an abnormally high blood homocysteine level. In addition to pernicious anemia, GPCA(+)/DG(+)/EOLP patients may sometimes have normocytic anemia or iron deficiency anemia. PMID: 27511590 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
