Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Angular stomatitis, or angular cheilitis, may occur in patients with iron-deficiency anemia. It is characterized by swollen, painful fissures at the corners of the mouth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oral manifestations of pernicious anemia, including glossitis and stomatitis, may occur in the absence of anemia and represent an early clinical sign of vitamin B12 deficiency. Other causes of glossitis include nutritional deficiencies of vitamin B12, folic acid, riboflavin and niacin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anemia can be defined as a reduction in hemoglobin (less than 13.5 g/dL in men; less than 12.0 g/dL in women) or hematocrit (less than 41.0% in men; less than 36.0% in women) or red blood cell (RBC) count.
