The profound physical abnormalities and extreme hematologic aberrations associated with classic severe pernicious anemia are not often encountered in modern practice. There are two reasons for this alteration in the character of the disorder. In the first place, patients tend to consult their physicians early, at a time when symptoms may seem inconsequential. The only complaint may be slight weakness or fatigue, or perhaps soreness of the tongue. There may be no detectable pallor at this time, and even if the...Bibliography1.
