    Author: Cook CC, Thomson AD.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(9):461-5. PubMed ID: 9274684.
    Abstract:
    Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, is a more common neuropsychiatric sequela of alcohol misuse than is widely realized. It is easily prevented and treated with parenteral B-complex vitamins, although this treatment is widely under-utilized.
