Case Report: COVID Associated Pancytopenia Unmasking Previously Undiagnosed Pernicious Anemia
We report a case of a symptomatic 24-year-old active duty male in Hawaii with post-COVID pancytopenia that was found to have previously undiagnosed pernicious anemia and his response to standard treatment.PMID:35405638 | DOI:10.4269/ajtmh.21-1194 (Source: Am J Trop Med Hyg)

Elevated IL-19 Serum Levels in Patients With Pernicious Anemia and Autoimmune Gastritis
Pernicious anemia (PA) is a megaloblastic anemia consisting of hematological, gastric and immunological alterations. The immunopathogenesis of PA is sustained by both autoantibodies (e.g. intrinsic factor (IFA) antibodies and anti parietal cell (PCA) antibodies and autoreactive T cells specific for IFA and the parietal cell proton pump ATPase. Iron deficient anemia (IDA) is a microcytic anemia and represents the most common cause of anemia worldwide. Our work aimed to investigate serum levels of several interleukins (IL) of the IL-20 cytokine subfamily in patients with PA, with IDA and in healthy subjects (HC). We compared...

Vitamin B12 absorption and malabsorption
Vitam Horm. 2022;119:241-274. doi: 10.1016/bs.vh.2022.01.016. Epub 2022 Mar 1.ABSTRACTVitamin B12 is assimilated and transported by complex mechanisms that involve three transport proteins, intrinsic factor (IF), haptocorrin (HC) and transcobalamin (TC) and their respective membrane receptors. Vitamin deficiency is mainly due to inadequate dietary intake in vegans, and B12 malabsorption is related to digestive diseases. This review explores the physiology of vitamin B12 absorption and the mechanisms and diseases that produce malabsorption. In the stomach, B12 is released from food carrier proteins and binds to HC. The degr...
