beriberi
This term refers specifically to a clinical deficiency of thiamine. In medical discourse, it is often categorized into "dry" beriberi, which primarily affects the peripheral nervous system, and "wet" beriberi, which involves the cardiovascular system and leads to edema.
As a medical condition naming a specific disease state, the word is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form, as it describes a singular pathological condition rather than a countable object.
