Study arms

  • Experimental
    Thiamine 1

    presence of severe symptoms and signs of thiamine deficiency: heart failure, convulsion, coma, loss of ankle and knee jerks with muscular wasting and paralysis (typically symmetrical foot- and wrist-drop)

    Drug: Thiamine 1

  • Other
    Non-thiamine

    no symptoms and signs of thiamine deficiency

    Other: Non-thiamine

  • Experimental
    Thiamine 2

    presence of mild symptoms and signs of thiamine deficiency; peripheral neuropathy alone (paraesthesia of hands and feet)

    Drug: Thiamine 2

Interventions

  • DrugThiamine 1

    If severe symptoms and signs of thiamine deficiency are present, thiamine is prescribed. Intervention 1 : severe symptom (heart failure, convulsion, or coma) : 50 mg thiamin administered very slowly intravenously, followed by a daily intramuscular dose of 10 mg for a week, and finally followed by 3-5 mg of thiamine per day orally for at least 6 weeks

  • OtherNon-thiamine

    no symptoms and signs of thiamine deficiency

  • DrugThiamine 2

    If symptoms and signs of thiamine deficiency are present, thiamine is prescribed. If mild symptom : a daily oral dose of 10 mg thiamin during the first week, followed by 3-5 mg of thiamin per day orally for at least 6 weeks

  1. abnormal thiamin pyrophosphate effect

    Thiamin pyrophosphate effect will be measured by a blood test

    Time frame: 7 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. consumption of thiaminase-containing foods and thiamin antagonist-containing foods

    Food diary and food frequency questionaire will be required to evaluate food consumption

    Time frame: 7 days
