Question 5 of 5
A patient is presented with weakness of legs, arms, trunk, tingling and numbness that progressively worsens. Peripheral blood smear shows macrocytic anemia. Which of the following is not the factor causing this condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The symptoms and macrocytic anemia suggest vitamin B12 deficiency, commonly caused by chronic atrophic gastritis (reduced intrinsic factor), ileal resection (impaired absorption), tapeworm (competes for B12), and nitrous oxide (inactivates B12). Alcoholism typically causes folate deficiency, not directly B12 deficiency.
