[Serum folic acid, vitamin b12 and iron values during pregnancy (author's transl)]. 1977

E Heilmann, and K Boving, and W R Dame

Of 125 pregnant women, of whom 81 were treated and 44 not treated, 14 (12,5%) were found to be suffering from anemia, with a hemoglobin count to be diminished. In 31 cases iron deficiency was established and in 8 women vitamin B12 in serum was reduced. Iron and vitamin deficiencies were found more frequently in the non-treated group than in the treated group.

D005494 Folic Acid Deficiency A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of FOLIC ACID in the diet. Many plant and animal tissues contain folic acid, abundant in green leafy vegetables, yeast, liver, and mushrooms but destroyed by long-term cooking. Alcohol interferes with its intermediate metabolism and absorption. Folic acid deficiency may develop in long-term anticonvulsant therapy or with use of oral contraceptives. This deficiency causes anemia, macrocytic anemia, and megaloblastic anemia. It is indistinguishable from vitamin B 12 deficiency in peripheral blood and bone marrow findings, but the neurologic lesions seen in B 12 deficiency do not occur.
