title: [Alcohol-induced lactic acidosis in thiamine deficiency].
abstract: Thiamine deficiency leads to a moderate hyperlactacidemia. As a result of an acute alcohol exposure the hyperlactacidemia is increased. In addition metabolic and respiratory acidosis with a distinct low pH value occurs. These changes constitute vital risks and may be considered as basic arguments for the explanation of sudden death in chronic alcoholics.
