Özet

Aim: A significant increase has been noted in the number of infants admitted to our hospital due to neurologic findings and diagnosed as vitamin B12 deficiency within the first 6 months of life. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the presence of maternal and neonatal vitamin B12 deficiency in infants born in our hospital.
