A Note on the Use of Marmite in Tropical Macrocytic Anæmia, Including Pernicious Anæmia of Pregnancy

چکیده
In an earlier paper the use of Marmite, a yeast extract, in the treatment of tropical Macrocytic ansemia was reported (Wills, 1931). Since this publication other workers have recorded varying results with this line of treatment. Vaughan and Hunter (1932), Goodall ,(1932), and others have reported success both macrocytic ansemia in cases of idiopathic steatorrhcea, and in certain cases of true pernicious ansemia. Mudaliar (1932) reports unfavourably from Madras, Green-Armytage (1932) favourably from Calcutta. Unpublished figures from other parts of India are favourable.
