علاج نقص فيتامين ب1 لدى رضيع مصاب بقصور قلب حاد أو تشنجات أو غيبوبة

References

In severe deficiency states the following dosages are recommended:

if severe heart failure, convulsions or coma occur, 25–50 mg of thiamine should be given very slowly intravenously, followed by a daily intramuscular dose of 10 mg for about a week.

This should then be followed by 3–5 mg of thiamine per day orally for at least 6 weeks.

In infants with thiamine deficiency and in adults with cardiac insufficiency the response to treatment is dramatic, with symptomatic relief within hours, whereas deficiency states with peripheral neuritis show a less spectacular improvement.
