Dry beriberi: unusual complication of prolonged parenteral nutrition.

J Zak1, D Burns, T Lingenfelser, E Steyn, I N Marks.   

Abstract

An adult with Crohn's disease on home total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 8 months presented with peripheral neuropathy and ataxia. The patient was found to be deficient of thiamine. A prompt symptomatic response to intravenous thiamine suggests that the patient had the chronic form of dry beriberi. To our knowledge, this variety of beriberi in a patient on TPN has not previously been reported.
