pubmed:abstractText |
Patients with cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency usually lack many of the classic features of severe megaloblastic anemia; because of the low diagnostic specificity of decreased serum cobalamin levels, demonstrating the deficiency unequivocally is often difficult. We examined the sensitivity of measuring serum concentrations of methylmalonic acid and total homocysteine for diagnosing patients with clear-cut cobalamin deficiency and compared the results with those of patients with clear-cut folate deficiency.
