    Author: Bosco C, Favrat B, Cheseaux M.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2012 Jun 20; 8(346):1348-51. PubMed ID: 22792601.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin B12 and iron deficiencies are common problems in consultations of general internal medicine. They cause different symptoms that can be non-specific. This article makes it possible, from a clinical frame of reference, to answer the following questions: What value of vitamin B12 should we consider a "deficiency", and what is the role of methylmalonate? What is the role of vitamin B12 oral supplements? How should we interpret values of ferritine? How should iron deficiency be investigated? What is the place of intravenous iron administration?
