Pyrexia due to Megaloblastic Anameia
Dr. G. Ramanujam, Dr. S. Prasanth
Abstract: Deficiency of vitamin B12 and / or folic acid as a cause of pyrexia, though known, is rarely reported in literature. We report a case in a 39 year old male, alcoholic who presented with fever for 6 month and was diagnosed to have megaloblastic anaemia secondary to vitamin B12 and folate deficiency. The pyrexia subsided following the intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 and oral folic acid administration.
Keywords: Megaloblastic anemia, Pyrexia, Vitamin B12, Folic acid
