The authors point out that the clinical picture of pernicious anemia can be dominated by brain disorders, making it difficult to diagnose. Cabot and Woltmann reported psychiatric disorders, namely, mental weakness and melancholy, in 25-35% of all cases of the disease. The character of the disorders is very variable: they are either depressive or of the agitation type, the latter more frequent; delirium of persecution with auditory and visual hallucinations usually predominates.
