Almost half of the patients with pernicious anemia exhibit a smooth tongue with loss of papillae (the small bumps located on the top and sides of the tongue), which is often painful and red.
These patients can report a burning sensation, usually in the anterior part of the tongue. These symptoms can lead to appetite loss and changes in taste.
