Overview
There are no other diagnostic studies associated with Beriberi.
Nerve conduction and electromyography
Nerve conduction study and electromyography may help.
Thiamine 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].
