Generalized skin pigmentation in five African women with megaloblastic anaemia in the postnatal period was associated with low serum folate levels, as distinct from vitamin B(12) deficiency. It is suggested that the occurrence of pigmentation in both folate and vitamin B(12) deficiency may reflect a common abnormality of metabolism.
产后患有巨幼细胞贫血的五名非洲女性出现全身性皮肤色素沉着,这与血清叶酸水平低有关,与维生素B12缺乏不同。有人提出,叶酸和维生素B12缺乏时出现色素沉着可能反映了一种共同的代谢异常。
