  • Title: Pernicious anaemia among Arabs in Kuwait.
    Author: Ali SA, al-Yusuf AR, Salem SN, el-Ghamrawy E, Zagulaul S.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1970 Oct; 23(7):577-9. PubMed ID: 5488784.
    Abstract:
    Addisonian pernicious anaemia is believed to be very rare in Arabs. Three cases are reported. Two were Jordanians of Palestinian origin and one an Egyptian. All had the typical peripheral macrocytosis, a frankly megaloblastic bone marrow, and a Schilling test result in the range of pernicious anaemia. All three improved remarkably on vitamin B(12) therapy and have maintained a normal haemoglobin level. There was no evidence of gastric carcinoma in any of these cases.
