Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- In infants born to thiamine-deficient mothers, the symptoms may start as early as one month of age.
- The hepatic stores of thiamine last for only 18 days. Lack or deficient consumption leads to gradual appearance of manifestations.
- If left untreated, patients with beriberi may progress to develop heart failure, limb paresis, and delirium. However, thiamine treatment is highly effective and leads to rapid improvements.
Complications
- Common complications of Beriberi include:
- Heart failure
- Limb paresis
- Delirium
Prognosis
- Except for Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, other forms of beriberi are reversible and have good prognosis with rapid recovery within hours of thiamine administration.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
