Disease in infants due to deficiency of thiamine.
This disease is well-known in undeveloped countries among malnourished infants but
it is very rare in developed countries. It can occur if a breastfeeding mother has
an inadequate intake of thiamine. The disease can also occur in infants who are
fed a formula containing insufficient thiamine, as happened tragically in 2003 in
Israel. The culprit was Remedia Super Soya 1, a kosher, soy-based, dairy-free baby
formula used mainly by ultraorthodox Jewish families. The formula by error had inadequate
thiamine. Its use left at least 2 two children dead and 15 suffering from possible
brain damage. Thiamine is also known as vitamin B1.
