Dietary deficiency disease (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beriberi

(Other definitions for beriberi that I've seen before include "Disease caused by lack of vitamin B" , "Lack-of-vitamin-B disease" , "ill with this?" , "Disease caused by a thiamine deficiency" , "Disease (lack of vit. B1)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
