  • Title: Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome in an African patient.
    Author: Stones DK, Ferreira M.
    Journal: J Trop Pediatr; 1999 Apr; 45(2):106-7. PubMed ID: 10341506.
    Abstract:
    Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome (IGS) is a rare cause of megaloblastic anaemia in young children. We wish to report the first case described from Africa. The diagnosis of IGS was made on the findings of a low vitamin B12 level, mild proteinuria, and a vitamin B12 absorption test unaffected by the intrinsic factor. The patient responded well to treatment with intramuscular vitamin B12.
