(Form of anaemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, in which the red blood cells are larger than usual, which is termed macrocytic anaemia. B12 is also important for the health of the nervous system. Animal products, including fish and eggs are the main source of B12. It can be a fatal illness
* A chemical called intrinsic factor (produced by the stomach) is necessary for B12 to be absorbed. Failure to produce adequate amounts of intrinsic factor (a.k.a. Addisonian pernicious anaemia) is a more common cause of pernicious anaemia in Western societies. As intrinsic factor is not available as a drug/supplement, B12 injections are given. There is an increased incidence of stomach cancer in people with this form of pernicious anaemia. This form of pernicious anaemia is an auto-immune disorder and can be familial
* Deficiency from an inadequate diet is unusual except is strict vegans. In the UK it is mainly seen in Asian immigrant women
* The fish tapeworm, which humans contract by eating under-cooked or raw fish, can cause pernicious anaemia. Research suggests that this is a habit of Scandinavians. Fish tape worm is fairly common in Scandinavia
* A similar condition caused by folic acid deficiency may also be called Pernicious Anaemia)
Other contributing condition listed was arteriosclerosis for the past 15 years. The informant on her certificate was Willis Kelley, her son
