Disease caused by dietary deficiency of thiamine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beriberi

(Other definitions for beriberi that I've seen before include "Inflammatory disease" , "Asian disease affecting the nerves and limbs" , "Tropical vitamin deficiency disease" , "Asian disease due to vitamin B1 deficiency" , "possible cause of heart failure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
