Dr. Roshaani Rasiah, an Intern at Cantonal Hospital Aarau, in Aarau, Switzerland, and Dr. Philipp Scheutz, a Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Basel, in Basel, Switzerland, review their article appearing in the May 2024 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings where they describe the rare, but life-threatening condition of Werneicke encephalopathy, a condition most often found in patients with alcohol misuse, but also possible in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum, inflammatory bowel diseases, anorexia nervosa, malignancy, infections, after bariatric surgeries, and with patients in need of dialysis. Dr. Rasiah and Dr. Schuetz note the condition is clinically difficult to diagnose and easily mitigated with prompt thiamine treatment. Available at: [ Ссылка ]
