Abstract

Vitamin B12 deficiency due to pernicious anemia has rarely been reported in celiac sprue. We report a rare case with celiac disease and severe vitamin B12 deficiency due to pernicious anemia without any iron or folic acid deficiency who showed a dramatic response to treatment with vitamin B12 injection.
