Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The assay of serum cobalamin (Cbl) level is commonly used to diagnose Cbl deficiency. Unexpectedly, the elevated Cbl levels may be determined in some of the patients and its interpretation is difficult. We investigated the association between elevated Cbl levels and a variety of clinical entities in patients presenting with various neurological symptoms.
