Overview

Differential Diagnosis

Beriberi should be differentiated from other causes of cardiac dysfunction (wet beriberi), peripheral neuropathy (dry beriberi), delirium (WKS), and other disorders caused by excessive alcohol drinking. However, the differential diagnosis is usually broad due to the non-specific symptoms of cardiac and neural involvement associated with the condition.

Disorders Etiology Clinical Presentation Laboratory findings
Cardiomyopathy due to other causes as alcohol or DM
Delirium and delusional disorders
Depression
Nerve entrapment disorders
Alcoholic hepatitis
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Hyperthyroidism
Folic acid deficiency
