AB Vitamin  B6  deficiency  most  commonly  occurs  as  a  result  of  alcoholism  or  interactions  with  medications,  especially  isoniazid,  cycloserine,  penicillamine,  and  oral  contraceptives.  A  number  of  inborn  errors  of  metabolism  and  other  pyridoxine-responsive  syndromes,  particularly  pyridoxine-responsive  anemia,  are  not  clearly  due  to  vitamin  deficiency  but  commonly  respond  to  high  doses  of  the  vitamin.  Patients  with  common  variable  immunodeficiency  may  have  concomitant  vitamin  B6  deficiency.
