ABSTRACT
Beriberi, which is caused by thiamin deficiency, is a rare disease in recent years. But it has been described in the Eastern literature as far back as the 17th century. Early symptoms are fatigue, apathy, irritability, drowsiness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Signs and symptoms of progression are peripheral neuritis, paresthesia, decreased tendon reflex and congestive heart failure. Thiamin deficiency remains as an important health care issue in many world population, specially in AIDS, pregnancy women and TPN associated patients. The best diagnostic test is assessing clinical response to administration of thiamin. We have experienced a case of Beriberi caused by continuous rice-soup feeding during one and half years in a 7-year-old boy.
