Abstract

Vitamin B12’s main function is to support DNA synthesis required for cell division or proliferation in combination with folic acid. Pancytopenia can be seen in vitamin B12 deficiency. Often preferred parenteral treatment to oral treatment in vitamin B12 deficiency, especially of condition associated with thrombocytopenia oral alternatives are considered. Oral therapy is known fascilitating the adherence treatment in pediatric patients. In this article, 16-year-old girl is presented, followed by our clinic wih the diagnose of vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency and then followed pansitopenic, treated by oral administration of intramuscular cobalamin preperates and oral folic acid. However, studies are needed with larger sample, to show the effectiveness of each treatment compared to each other.

Oral kobalamin ve folik asit ile tedavi edilen pansitopenik olgu

Abstract

Vitamin B12’nin temel fonksiyonu, folik asit ile birlikte hücre bölünmesi veya çoğalması için gerekli olan DNA sentezini desteklemesidir. Eksikliğinde pansitopeni görülebilmektedir. Vitamin B12 eksikliğinde çoğunlukla parenteral yol tercih edilmekte beraber, trombositopeninin eşlik ettiği durumlarda oral tedavi alternatifleri düşünülmektedir. Oral tedavinin pediatrik hasta grubunda tedaviye uyumu da kolaylaştırdığı bilinmektedir. Bu yazıda, kliniğimizde vitamin B12 ve folik asit eksikliği tanısı ile takip edilen ve pansitopenik olması nedeniyle oral folik asite ek olarak intramuskuler kobalamin preperatının oral yoldan verilmesiyle tedavi edilen 16 yaşında kız olgu sunulmuştur. Ancak tedavilerinin birbirine olan üstünlüklerini göstermek için geniş örneklemle çalışmalar gerekmektedir.
