The early diagnosis of and intervention in vitamin B12 deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants by mothers with low vitamin B12 is crucial in preventing possible irreversible neurologic damage, megaloblastic anemia, and failure to thrive. We assess the usefulness of the early detection of asymptomatic B12 deficiency related to acquired conditions and highlight the importance of monitoring serum vitamin B12 levels during pregnancy. We describe demographic, clinical, dietary, and biochemical data, including the evolution of a vitamin B12 deficiency's functional biomarkers.

Sideroblastic anemia (SA) consists of a group of inherited and acquired anemias of ineffective erythropoiesis characterized by the accumulation of ring sideroblasts in the bone marrow due to disrupted heme biosynthesis. Congenital sideroblastic anemia (CSA) is rare and has three modes of inheritance: X-linked (XLSA), autosomal recessive (ARCSA), and maternal. Acquired SA is more common and can be a result of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or other, generally reversible causes.

Background: An infectious etiology has been proposed for many human cancers, but rarely have specific agents been identified. Viral metagenomic technique is useful for identification of viral pathogens potentially existing in bone marrow specimens from hematologic patients.
Methods: A total of 24 patients were included in this study, including 14 female (58.
