  • Title: [Thiamine-deficiency cardiopathy: a rare cause of cardiac failure in childhood].
    Author: Minneci C, De Simone L, Repetto T, Manetti A.
    Journal: Cardiologia; 1996 Sep; 41(9):883-6. PubMed ID: 8983845.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac beriberi is a rare cause of heart failure in infancy and the diagnosis is often very difficult. We describe the case of a 4-year-old girl admitted to our Hospital with symptoms of heart failure and diagnosis of myocarditis. In children with acute cardiac failure and suggestive history and signs of peripheral neuropathy, thiamine deficiency should be suspected.
