According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anemia or hemoglobin deficiency is defined as having a hemoglobin concentration< 13 g/dL for men and< 12 g/dL for women. 1 Iron deficiency (serum iron level< 60 μg/dL) may lead to iron deficiency anemia. 1 Vitamin B12 deficiency (serum vitamin B12 level< 200 pg/mL) or folic acid deficiency (serum folic acid level< 4 ng/mL) may result in macrocytic anemia. 2 e4 Moreover, deficiencies of vitamin B12 and/or folic acid may lead to abnormally high serum homocysteine level (> 12.4 μM). 5 e9 Serum gastric parietal cell autoantibody (GPCA) positivity may induce destruction of gastric parietal cells and subsequently result in failure of production of intrinsic factor and absorption of vitamin B12 from the terminal ileum, finally leading to vitamin B12 deficiency. 2 e4 Because anemia and hematinic deficiencies may cause or aggravate oral mucosal diseases such as atrophic glossitis (AG), burning mouth syndrome (BMS), oral lichen planus (OLP), recurrent aphthous ulcerations (RAU), or oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), in our oral mucosal disease clinic, complete blood count, serum iron, vitamin B12, folic acid and homocysteine levels, and serum GPCA titers are usually examined to check whether patients with these 5 diseases have microcytic, normocytic or macrocytic anemia, deficiencies of hematinics, abnormally high serum homocysteine level, and serum GPCA positivity. 5 e9 After blood examination of patients with the five abovementioned oral mucosal diseases, we found that deficiencies of hemoglobin, iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid can be detected in 22.2%, 26.7%, 7.4%, and 1.7% of 176 AG patients, 5 in 22.3%, 20.3%, 2.5%, and 1.5% of 399 BMS patients, 6 in 21.9%, 13.6%, 7.1%, and 0.3% of 352 OLP patients, 7 in 20.9%, 20.1%, 4.8%, and 2.6% of 273 RAU patients, 8 and in 7.4%, 20.6%, 50.0%, and 41.2% of 68 male OSF patients, 9 respectively. Moreover, abnormally high serum homocysteine levels can be discovered in 21.6% of 176 AG patients, 5 in 22.3% of 399 BMS patients, 6 in 14.8% of 352 OLP patients, 7 and in 7.7% of 273 RAU patients. 8 In addition, serum GPCA positivity can be recognized in 26.7% of 176 AG patients, 5 in 13.3% of 399 BMS patients, 6 and in 13.2% of 68 male OSF patients. 9 Furthermore, AG and BMS patients have a significantly higher frequency of hemoglobin, iron or vitamin B12 deficiency, of abnormally elevated blood homocysteine level, or of serum GPCA positivity than healthy control individuals. 5, 6 OLP patients have a significantly higher frequency of hemoglobin, iron, or vitamin B12 deficiency and of abnormally high blood homocysteine level than healthy control individuals. 7 RAU patients have a significantly higher frequency of hemoglobin, iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid deficiency and of abnormally high blood homocysteine levels than healthy control individuals. 8 Male OSF patients have a significantly higher frequency of hemoglobin, vitamin B12, or folic acid deficiency and of serum GPCA positivity than healthy control individuals. 9 Therefore, approximately 21.1%, 19.3%, 7.5%, 3.5%, 16.7% and
