Scurvy, a rare disease, is still found today in malnourished patients. We recently diagnosed a case of scurvy in a 64-year-old woman resulting from a self-imposed diet. She had severe anemia and the characteristic gingival and skin lesions, which responded dramatically to ascorbic acid therapy. We report this case to make physicians aware of the possibility of scurvy and of its clinical symptoms.
坏血病是一种罕见疾病，如今在营养不良的患者中仍有发现。我们最近诊断出一名64岁女性因自行节食患上坏血病。她患有严重贫血，并伴有典型的牙龈和皮肤病变，这些症状在接受抗坏血酸治疗后有显著改善。我们报告此病例，旨在让医生们意识到坏血病及其临床症状的可能性。
