Presentation
Results In the 6 year period, 153 children (40.5% female) presented with acute encephalopathy with a median age of 3 months (IQR 1.5 to 4), and 88.2% below 6 months. [adc.bmj.com]
Materials And Methods : We performed a retrospective review of head sonography of infants (admitted between November 1, 2014, and March 31, 2015) who presented with encephalopathy. [pubfacts.com]
We noticed 3 patterns: 1- to 2-month-old infants (16/41) presented with lactic acidosis. Infants older than 5 months of age (11/41) presented with Wernicke encephalopathy. [ajnr.org]
Most of the patients presented with severe respiratory irregularities. [academic.oup.com]

Prognosis
Although, untreated Beriberi can eventually lead to death Commencing thiamine supplementation can cause an improvement in the symptoms If congestive heart failure occurs, the prognosis is poor. [dovemed.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for beriberi is usually good, unless patients have established Korsakoff syndrome. When patients have progressed to this stage, the degree of damage is only minimally reversible. [namrata.co]
