title: Vitamin B12 Status of Mothers of Children with Infantile Tremor Syndrome.
abstract: Retrospective chart review of 15 patients with infantile tremor syndrome in which mothers had their serum vitamin B12 measured, showed low (<200 pg/mL) serum vitamin B12 in 9 and low-normal (<200-350 pg/mL) in 6. Of the 9 mothers who had undergone complete blood counts, anemia was present in 6 and macrocytosis in 3. Vitamin B12 deficiency appears to be common in mothers of infants with infantile tremor syndrome.
