Pernicious anemia is the most common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency in adults. This entity is associated with chronic atrophic gastritis. We report a case of pernicious anaemia in triplets. We also report a fourth case of cobalamin deficiency with antibodies against intrinsic factor and anti parietal cell antigen negative antibodies in a sibling. The present article reviews the pediatric presentation of pernicious anemia and highlights the possible existence of familial aggregation. Furthermore, the need for systematic familial screening and the usefulness of an endoscopic follow-up program in patients with pernicious anemia are evaluated.
