Thiamine deficiency mimicking acute rejection following cardiac transplantation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Abstract
We describe a recipient of an orthotopic cardiac transplant who developed severe ventricular dysfunction following an episode of sepsis. He had normal cardiac biopsies and responded to treatment with thiamine. Causes other than rejection should be considered in patients who have received a cardiac transplant and who present in cardiac failure.
