Tulp treated a young Dutchman who was brought back to Holland from the East Indies suffering from what the natives of the Indies called beriberi or "the lameness." Tulp's description of beriberi was a detailed one, but he had no clues that it was a deitary deficiency disease. This discovery came more than two hundred years later. Nicholaas Tulp (1593-1674) is best remembered as the central figure in Rembrandt's famous painting, "The Anatomy Lesson" (1632). Next Title

It can damage the heart and nervous system. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top There are two major manifestations of thiamine deficiency: cardiovascular disease (wet beriberi) and nervous system disease ("dry beriberi" and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome). Dry beriberi is somewhat of a misnomer because both types are most often caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms of dry beriberi include pain, tingling, or loss of sensation in hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), muscle wasting with loss of function or paralysis of the lower extremities, and potentially brain damage and death. Wet beriberi is characterized by swelling (edema), increased heart rate (tachycardia), lung congestion, and enlarged heart related to congestive heart failure. Beriberi has become very rare in the United States because most foods are now vitamin-enriched, which means that a normal diet contains adequate amounts of

Los primeros síntomas del beriberi, aunque no son específicos, son: fatiga , irritabilidad, intranquilidad pérdida del apetito y malestar abdominal vago.

Beriberi has become almost nonexistent in the United States since the discovery of its cause, thiamin deficiency. Most foods are now vitamin enriched, which means that a normal diet contains adequate amounts of thiamin. Beriberi, although uncommon, can be found among alcoholics. Alcohol-related thiamin deficiency is caused by inadequate intakes of thiamin as well as impaired absorption and storage. Beriberi can also appear, in breast-fed infants when the mother has an inadequate intake of thiamin or if the infant is fed unusual formulas without thiamin supplements. Deficiencies may also be found in people whose diet includes certain types of fish that produce an enzyme that inactivates thiamin. Early symptoms of beriberi are nonspecific and include fatigue, irritability, restlessness, loss of appetite, and vague abdominal discomfort.

    Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 567. Today, we talk about sick chickens and creativity. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he word beriberi comes from the Singhalese word for extreme weakness. Weakness is the first symptom of beriberi. After that, neuritis, edema, paralysis and heart failure! It's no fun. Beriberi became a great horror in colonial Asia during the nineteenth century. Finally Pasteur found that microbes cause disease. So, in 1886, the Dutch East India Company sent a team to Djakarta to find the offending beriberi germ. The team put blood, saliva, and urine under the microscope. They tried everything and found out nothing. Finally, after nine months, they left their youngest member in charge of a tiny permanent station. They gave up and went home. The young man was Christian Eijkman. For ten years he kept working on the problem. At one point, the chickens at the station came down with beriberi-like symptoms. They were sick for several months. Several even died. Then the rest recovered.
