Résumé

In this article, we presented a teenager, in maintenance chemotherapy for leukemia, who was admitted for digestive symptoms related to a parasitic infection and required nutritional support with parenteral nutrition. After 6 weeks, his condition worsened with refractory shock of presumed septic origin, necessitating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Despite hemodynamic stabilization, his lactic acidosis worsened until thiamine supplementation was started. Lactate normalized within 12 hours. Thiamine is an essential coenzyme in aerobic glycolysis, and deficiency leads to lactate accumulation through anaerobic glycolysis. Thiamine deficiency is uncommon in the pediatric population. However, it should be considered in patients at risk of nutritional deficiencies with lactic acidosis of unknown origin.
