Beriberi is a disease caused by thiamine deficiency resulting in peripheral neuropathy and myocardial dysfunction. Increases in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are seen in polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy and skin changes, called POEMS syndrome. We present herein two cases of wet beriberi accompanied by a moderate increase in VEGF level. Serum VEGF d...
determine the erythrocyte transketolase (ETK) activity or thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) effect on admission, or thiamine excretion. Tanphaichitr et a13 state that thiamine excretion alone is not a good index of the state of thiamine nutrition in an individual subject. The absence of cardiac and central nervous system manifestations may be explained partially by the fact that the patient restrict...
Cardiovascular beriberi is categorized into two main groups, according to its cause: alcoholic and non-alcoholic (dietary). Cardiovascular beriberi can also be divided into a fulminant form (Shoshin beriberi) and a chronic form. Shoshin beriberi is characterized by hypotension, tachycardia, and lactic acidosis and is mainly encountered in non-alcoholic patients in Asian countries, although it h...
BACKGROUND Infantile beriberi is a potentially lethal manifestation of thiamin deficiency, associated with traditional post-partum maternal food avoidance, which persists in the Lao PDR (Laos). There are few data on biochemical markers of infantile thiamin deficiency or indices of cardiac dysfunction as potential surrogate markers. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A case control study of 47 inf...
Beriberi was recognised by the Chinese 3000 B.c. Tlhe etiology, however, remained obscure till 1870. In that year Eijkman, working in Java, notedl an epidemic of paralysis among fowls fed on polished rice. He found that this polyneuritis gallinarum could be cured if an extract of rice polishings were added to the diet. That polyneuritis gallinarum corresponded to human beriberi was shown by Fra...
Two patients suffering from cardiovascular beriberi presented with different clinical manifestations. One had the classical features of a high cardiac output with raised jugular venous pressure and gross oedema. The other was in fulminating heart failure with clinical evidence of a low cardiac output but no peripheral oedema. The latter type of beriberi (shoshin) is rare. Cardiovascular beriber...
Cardiac beriberi is considered a rare disease in western society. A patient with fulminant Shoshin-type beriberi was studied in the acute phase and found to have severe metabolic acidosis, high output biventricular failure, and markedly low systemic vascular resistance. Red blood cell transketolase activity was abnormally low. Following treatment with thiamine, diuretics, digitalis and oxygen, ...
