An adult with Crohn's disease on home total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 8 months presented with peripheral neuropathy and ataxia. The patient was found to be deficient of thiamine. A prompt symptomatic response to intravenous thiamine suggests that the patient had the chronic form of dry beriberi. To our knowledge, this variety of beriberi in a patient on TPN has not previously been reported.
一名患有克罗恩病的成年人在家接受了8个月的全胃肠外营养（TPN），出现了周围神经病变和共济失调。发现该患者硫胺素缺乏。静脉注射硫胺素后迅速出现症状缓解，提示该患者患有慢性干性脚气病。据我们所知，此前尚未有TPN患者出现这种类型脚气病的报道。
