Key Points

  • To emphasize the critical need for awareness of pan beriberi in young patients presenting with specific symptoms.
  • Descriptive analysis of symptoms and medical history of a young male with acute heart failure.
  • Assessment of neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms related to thiamine deficiency.
  • Review of treatment outcomes following high-dose thiamine administration.
  • Immediate thiamine administration resulted in rapid improvement of symptoms.
  • The patient displayed significant recovery from heart failure and neurological deficits within days.
  • Simultaneous evaluation indicated gastrointestinal symptoms improved following treatment.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Pan beriberi should be considered in young patients with unexplained acute heart failure, neurological deficits, and gastrointestinal pseudo‐obstruction, particularly in malnutrition or chronic alcohol use. Early clinical recognition and prompt high dose thiamine therapy can be lifesaving, even where laboratory confirmation is unavailable.
