How to use "Beriberi" in context?
Beriberi is a type of protein deficiency caused by a lack of thiamin, a B-complex vitamin. Symptoms of beriberi include weakness, confusion, and a skin rash. In severe cases, beriberi can affect the heart, lungs, and central nervous system. Poor diet and insufficient absorption of food are the main causes of beriberi. Treatment focuses on replacing lost thiamin and strengthening the immune system. Epidemics of beriberi have occurred in areas where food is scarce or where people do not have access to clean water.
