Observers are almost unanimous that patients suffering from pernicious anemia remain practically free from active tuberculosis. In fact, so infrequent is the association of these two diseases that most of the textbooks on pathology and hematology as well as on clinical medicine do not even discuss it, and, in talking over this matter with clinicians as well as with pathologists of wide experience, I have been impressed with the fact that they have practically never encountered instances of such association. What is even more striking is the absence of material on this subject in the English literature and the scarcity of it also in the foreign literature. It is for this reason that I consider it a rare opportunity to have encountered two such cases, which I shall attempt to present, together with a review of what little is available in the literature.REVIEW OF LITERATUREMathias1 cites the |
