Pernicious anemia is a type of vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, a disease in which not enough red blood cells are produced due to the malabsorption of vitamin B12.[7] Malabsorption in pernicious anemia results from the lack or loss of intrinsic factor needed for the absorption of vitamin B12.[4][8] Anemia is defined as a condition in which the blood has a lower than normal amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin.[9] There may be larger red blood cells than normal but they are not always present.[4] (wikipedia.org/wiki/pernicious anaemia
