?:abstract
  • Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anaemia (TRMA) is a syndrome associated with megaloblastic anaemia, diabetes mellitus and sensorineural deafness, due to mutations in the SLC19A2 gene, which codes for a thiamine carrier protein Oral thiamine supplementation is the main treatment We report the case of a 19-year-old man known for TRMA, who presented in the emergency department with bicytopenia (haemoglobin 5,4 g/dL, thrombocytes 38×109/L) revealed by dyspnea and chest pain Investigations excluded bleeding, hemolysis, coagulopathy and iron deficiencies A recent infection and an acute coronary syndrome have also been eliminated We later found out that thiamine treatment had been discontinued three months before, due to general confinement in Tunisia during the COVID-19 pandemic Parenteral administration of 100 mg of thiamine daily resulted in the recovery of haematopoiesis within three weeks
