A Case of Beriberi with Leg Edema, Pleural Effusion, and Anemia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Case: We describe a case of beriberi with leg edema, pleural effusion, and anemia. Echocardiography revealed that the inferior vena cava diameter was 18 mm, but respiratory changes were not observed. Pulmonary hypertension was observed, with a systolic pulmonary arterial pressure of 45 mmHg. Peripheral blood concentrations of vitamin B1 decreased significantly. Beriberi heart disease caused by vitamin B1 deficiency was considered to lead to systemic edema; continuous vitamin supplementation maintained cardiac movement, and the anemia did not progress.
