Abstract

In two children with pernicious anemia specific studies showed that gastric function and structure were normal. There was a specific inability to absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract. These findings add evidence to the hypothesis that the gastric manifestations of pernicious anemia are not an intrinsic part of the disease, but are secondary to chronic deficiency of vitamin B12.
