Pernicious anemia is one form of vitamin B-12 deficiency that results from the autoimmune process described above. However, other causes of vitamin B-12 deficiency can also produce the same signs and symptoms as pernicious anemia. Other potential causes of vitamin B-12 deficiency include surgical removal of the stomach or a portion of the stomach (total or partial gastrectomy), other gastrointestinal diseases such as celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, infections of the gastrointestinal tract, and poor nutrition.
