Article Synopsis
- Infantile beriberi, caused by thiamine deficiency, is resurging in South and Southeast Asia, linked to maternal deficiencies and inadequate breast milk.
- High incidence of beriberi is influenced by poor dietary practices and cultural restrictions, which contribute to low thiamine levels in infants.
- Public health efforts to address thiamine deficiency face challenges due to misdiagnosis, unclear biomarkers, and the need for standardized definitions to improve diagnosis and treatment in low-resource settings.
