“…2 The patient in this case showed characteristics of gastrointestinal beriberi including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, the elevated lactate levels and anion gap, the rapid resolution of symptoms after thiamine administration, and the low blood thiamine levels. 8,9 Additional findings not described as gastrointestinal syndrome but present in this case include leukocytosis, elevated transaminases, and tachycardia. Perhaps these findings will be confirmed in future cases of thiamine deficiency with gastrointestinal symptoms.…”

“…[7] In Western culture, the most common causes of adult thiamine deficiency are related to chronic alcohol abuse, prolonged critical illness, [8][9][10][11] or previous bariatric surgery. [12] The vast majority of references in children document neuropathy are related to inadequate dietary supplementation.…”

“…Des cas d'acidose lactique sur déficit en thiamine ont en effet été décrits dans la littérature [6,7], notamment chez des patients en nutrition parentérale exclusive sans supplémentation en thiamine [8], ce qui constitue un modèle de déficit acquis en thiamine. L'acidose lactique sur déficit en thiamine a aussi été décrite dans le sepsis sévère [9] et chez l'alcoolique chronique [1][2][3][4][5]. Différents mécanismes sont possiblement à l'origine d'un déficit en thiamine chez l'alcoolique chronique [10] : il s'agit surtout d'apports insuffisants en thiamine, s'intégrant dans la malnutrition habituellement observée chez ces patients, et de malabsorption (effet direct de l'éthanol sur le transport intestinal de thiamine).…”

“…Le déficit en thiamine, lorsqu'il se manifeste par une défaillance cardiaque droite, est appelé Shoshin béribéri. La défaillance cardiaque droite fait habituellement partie du tableau d'acidose lactique sur déficit en thiamine [2][3][4][5]11], et c'est ce qui a été observé chez notre patient. Il s'agit d'une insuffisance cardiaque à haut débit, qui est rapidement réversible après correction du déficit en thiamine.…”
