Abstract An infant, 5½ months of age, died after a brief acute illness characterized by irritability and somnolence leading terminally to coma, and by excessive sweating, abdominal distension, tachypnea and tachycardia.[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Presenting symptoms include tachycardia, low diastolic pressure, cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, and cyanosis. Wet beriberi is characterized by elevated lactic acid levels.[emedicine.medscape.com]
In patients with developmental delay, milestones and tone were slow to recover during 4–14 weeks. Normal breastfeeding was achieved in a mean of 6 hours. The mean duration of the hospital stay was 3.25 days.[ajnr.org]
All 15 patients who were re-examined within 3–6 months of initial illness, were clinically normal except two who still had hypotonia, delayedmilestones and persistence of brain lesions on imaging.[academic.oup.com]
Additional admission information was collected for infants with clinical beriberi-these infants had lethargy (74%), poor feeding (72%), vomiting (60%), dyspnoea (81%), grunting (82%, n 45), palpable liver (96%, n 27), peripheral oedema (25%, n 44[journals.plos.org]
