PERNICIOUS ANEMIA IN AN EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL

Additional Observations in a Case Previously Reported as "Nutritional Anemia in an Infant Responding to Purified Liver Extract"

LEONARD ROSENZWEIG M.D.1 and OGDEN C. BRUTON M.C., U.S.A.1

1 The Pediatric Section, Medical Service, Walter Reed General Hospital, Washington, D.C.

A progress report on an 8 year old female diagnosed as "nutritional anemia" at 4 months of age is presented.

The patient's good response, both clinically and hematologically, to folic acid and vitamin B12 during relapse has been observed.

She now appears to fulfill all criteria for the diagnosis of pernicious anemia and because of its rare occurrence in childhood she is reported as an additional case of that disease.
