Overview
There are no other diagnostic studies associated with Beriberi.
Nerve conduction and electromyography
Nerve conduction study and electromyography may help.
Thiamine deficiency has been reported to display demyelination[1][2][3] although this may be late stage finding[4] and due to severe protein calorie malnutrition[5].
After bariatric surgery, 6% of patients developed polyneuropathy (none showed demyelination although inflammation was present) [6]. However, both axonal and demyelination have been reported[7].
However, demyelination after bariatric surgery may be associated with:
- Copper deficiency[8]. This patient also received treatment for immune globulin for possible Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome including a case with axonal loss and positive anti-GM1, anti-MAG, anti-GD1a antibodies[9] and a case and with demeyllination with anti-GM1 IgG and anti-GD1a antibodies[10].
Interpretation of nerve conduction studies is difficult and demyelination can b e secondary to severe axonal degeneration[11].
