Abstract
ous discutons le cas d'une femme de 58 ans qui présente une asthénie progressive et une dyspnée ainsi que des paresthésies des membres. On découvre une pancytopénie avec des neutrophiles hypersegmentés, une anémie macrocytaire hyporégénérative et des éléments d'hémolyse (forte augmentation des LDH). Cette constellation doit faire suspecter une carence en vitamine B12 qui est confirmée chez notre patiente par un dosage de la cobalamine indétectable. Le bilan étiologique montre des anticorps anti-cellules pariétales gastriques positifs à 1/640, diagnostiques d'une maladie de Biermer.
A 58 year old woman presents with a progressive fatigue and dyspnea associated with paresthesia. Laboratory tests show pancytopenia with hypersegmented neutrophiles, macrocytic hyporegenerative anemia and arguments for hemolysis, in particular highly increased LDH. This constellation strongly suggests vitamin B12 deficiency, which was confirmed with an undetectable cobalamine concentration in the blood of our patient. The etiologic work up shows the presence of anti-parietal cells antibodies at a titer of 1/640, diagnostic of Biermer anemia.
