Congenital or neonatal vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/11760432
A disease caused by vitamin B12 disorder arising in the antenatal period. This disease is characterised by decreased levels of vitamin B12 leading to megaloblastic anaemia; low levels of red blood cells resulting from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. This disease may present with pallor, fatigue, or shortness of breath. Confirmation is by identification of low levels of vitamin B12 and low red blood cell count in a blood sample.
