Title: Thiamine Deficiency in a Developed Country: Acute Lactic Acidosis in Two Neonates Due to Unsupplemented Parenteral Nutrition. Author: Salvatori G, Mondì V, Piersigilli F, Capolupo I, Pannone V, Vici CD, Rizzo C, Dotta A. Journal: JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr; 2016 Aug; 40(6):886-9. PubMed ID: 25591974.

Only thiamine administration allows the remission of symptoms. We report 2 preterm infants with acute thiamine deficiency due to prolonged parenteral nutrition without adequate vitamin supplementation.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
