Chronic alcoholism is recognized as the most common cause of Wernicke's encephalopathy, but other causes, including fasting\/starvation and malnutrition, have been documented within the scientific literature. These causes may not be readily recognized by healthcare professionals and may lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy being overlooked as a diagnosis when a nonalcoholic patient presents with classic signs and symptoms of the disorder. <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>: A narrative review of thiamine and its relationship to the development, diagnosis, and treatment of Wernicke's encephalopathy is presented based on a review of evidence\u2010based guidelines and published research. To heighten awareness of the development of Wernicke's encephalopathy in fasted\/starved and malnourished patients and to contribute to the scientific body of knowledge for the identification and management of Wernicke's encephalopathy in these patients, the clinical course and treatment of an adult woman who developed Wernicke's encephalopathy following a 40\u2010day water\u2010only fasting diet is outlined. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Clinical suspicion was required to identify the patient's condition and initiate immediate intervention through parenteral thiamine administration. Oral thiamine supplementation of 100 to 800 mg per day for 6 months was required to aid recovery. <jats:italic>Outcomes<\/jats:italic>: The patient's clinical course and response to treatment illustrate the necessity for clinical awareness and suspicion of Wernicke's encephalopathy among healthcare professionals, timely and adequate parenteral thiamine administration, and oral thiamine supplementation at therapeutic doses to correct the nutrient deficiency, halt the progression of Wernicke's encephalopathy, and promote recovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0884533614561793","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,19]],"date-time":"2014-12-19T05:32:41Z","timestamp":1418967161000},"page":"92-99","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Malnutrition\u2010Induced Wernicke's Encephalopathy Following a Water\u2010Only Fasting Diet"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Deborah A.","family":"Hutcheon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004033.pub3"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/37.6.513"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"21","article-title":"Wernicke's encephalopathy: role of thiamine","volume":"33","author":"Thomson AG","year":"2009","journal-title":"Pract Gastroenterol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11065-012-9196-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2010.03153.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/709474"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/erv.2292"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/jn.5000087"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ajkd.2001.28578"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(07)70104-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-4-217"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","volume-title":"Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism","author":"Gropper S","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","unstructured":"Thiamin.Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center website.http:\/\/lpi.oregonstate.edu\/infocenter\/vitamins\/thiamin\/.
