Infant Shoshin beriberi is an acute life-threatening condition for which the diagnosis is frequently delayed. Therefore, rapid recognition of right heart failure with lactic acidemia is a crucial element in the diagnosis and therapeutic management. We present the case of a 2-month-old girl with bronchiolitis, right heart failure, and lactic acidosis, who quickly and favorably responded to thiamine supplementation. Thiamine deficiency was established through laboratory tests. We present a brief review of the literature with the different thiamine dosages proposed in emergencies and provide an emergency protocol in cases of clinical suspicion, since thiamine supplementation could help to speed up recovery in infants with Shoshin beriberi.

Background: Acute illness states with increased metabolic demand can precipitate severe thiamine deficiency if physiologic needs exceed endogenous stores and supplementation. Patients with preexisting risk factors such as parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence, eating disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, or surgeries are especially vulnerable.
Case Summary: A 9-year-old girl with short bowel syndrome receiving long-term PN, including standard thiamine supplementation, presented with refractory shock following aspiration.

Article Synopsis
- * This study compared infants diagnosed with TRPHTN and acute respiratory infection (ARI) to understand the differences in their presentation and investigated genetic variations in Thiamine transporter genes without finding conclusive results.
- * The research involved 82 infants, revealing that TRPHTN had specific symptoms and risk factors, while lactate and pulmonary pressure measurements proved effective in identifying thiamine deficiency issues.
