HEMATOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN CHILDREN WITH VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENCY

Öz

Objective Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common condition in childhood and various neurological, hematological, and dermatological findings could be seen due to its deficiency. The aim of the study is to evaluate the hematological findings in children diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency. Materials and Methods Hematological data of children with B12 deficiency who were examined in Pediatric Hematology Department were retrospectively reviewed. Results Hematological data of one hundred twenty-four patients were assessed in our study. Anemia, thrombocytopenia and leucopenia were detected in 48 patients, 8 patients and 6 patients, respectively. Two infants presented with prolonged jaundice and hemolytic anemia. The mean vitamin B12 levels of the patients were 97.3±30.6 (5-140) pg/ml. Conclusion Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common disease in developing countries and it is mostly of maternal origin. In our study, vitamin B12 deficiency in mothers of 42 out of 52 infants (80%) were discovered. This percentage clearly shows the importance of the vitamin B12 level determination in pregnant women and its treatment in case of deficiency. Patients with vitamin B12 deficiency might be admitted to the hospital for various reasons. Therefore, it is recommended to keep in mind that vitamin B12 deficiency might be the base of various diseases, especially for patients presenting prolonged jaundice and hemolytic anemia.
