Pernicious anemia is a very serious disorder, which can cause irreversible damage, resulting from a deficiency of vitamin B12. This study detected H. pylori in 56% of 138 patients with pernicious anemia. Upon treatment and eradication of the H. pylori infection, there was significant improvement of B12 status in 40% of the infected patients. The authors conclude that H. Pylori is a causative factor in many cases of B12 deficiency and that detection and eradication of it may correct the deficiency.
