Blood vitamin status (B1, B2 and B6) was assessed by erythrocytic enzyme activation tests in 7 male and 1 female chronic alcoholics (mean age (.+-. SD), 43.12 (13.7) yr; range, 25-64 yr) on admission and 6 h later on the same day after oral administration of a single dose of polyvitamin. Of 8 patients, 7 were found deficient in vitamin B1, 5 in B6 and none in B2. After single-dose oral therapy, the tendency to improve blood vitamin status was clearly evident in all patients. A subgroup of chronic alcoholics may benefit from oral supplementation of vitamins. Clinical implications of vitamin deficiency in chronic alcoholics are briefly discussed.
