Abstract
Background: Folate and vitamin B12 interact in one-carbon metabolism, and imbalance between them may influence hematological findings. Although high folate status may mask vitamin B12 deficiency in adults, evidence in infants is limited. This study evaluated the association between folate status and hematological parameters in infants with vitamin B12 deficiency.Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included infants aged 0–24 months with serum vitamin B12 levels
