  Abstract

Reported here is a 2-year-old girl who was diagnosed to have thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia during evaluations for her bilateral neurosensorial deafness. Besides reporting a new mutation on the gene SLC19A2 for the first time in the literature, we highlight the recognition of this syndrome—when megaloblastic anemia and diabetes mellitus coexists—and the role of thiamine replacement for the treatment of both disorders.

Key Words: thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia • novel mutation • diabetes mellitus
