Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Recently much interest has been shown in the screening of populations for the presence of disease, either latent or overt (Wilson and Junger, 1968). In psychiatric practice the importance has been recorded of screening patients for the presence of avitaminosis B12 as a possible cause of psychiatric abnormality (Henderson et al 1966). Several methods of estimating serum vitamin-B12 levels have been evaluated, but the microbiological assay remains the most suitable method for use in a routine laboratory.
