Pernicious anemia and systemic lupus erythematosus in a young woman

J Rheumatol. 1985 Aug;12(4):798-9.

Abstract

We describe a 23-year-old woman with both pernicious anemia and systemic lupus erythematosus. This is a rare association despite the relationship between the autoimmune etiology of the 2 conditions, and it is of particular interest in that adult pernicious anemia is very uncommon in young people.
