Serum vitamin B 12 and folic acid levels in patients with fasciolopsiasis
Serum vitamin B 12 , serum and red cell folate concentrations and vitamin B 12 absorption were studied in 100 patients with fasciolopsiasis. A mean value of serum vitamin B 12 level in the patient group was found to be significantly lower than that of normal subjects and 14% of these patients h...
