Background: Crohn's disease (CD) can commonly involve the terminal ileum, which is the site of B 12 absorption. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of vitamin B 12 abnormalities in a population with CD and to identify risk factors associated with B 12 abnormalities in CD. ## Methods:
In AIDS, as previously found in pernicious anemia (PA), the earliest serum marker of subnormal vitamin B, , (cobalamin) absorption, and therefore of negative B, , balance, is low serum holotranscobalamin II (holo-TC II; B,,-TC II) despite normal total serum B, , level, normal serum homocysteine, and
