Abstract

We report an unusual case of scurvy where a six-year-old female presented with clinical and radiological features suggestive of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, follow-up radiological examination, carried out in view of refractory arthritis, was diagnostic for scurvy and the patient later responded well only with vitamin C therapy.

摘要

我们报告了一例罕见的坏血病病例，一名六岁女性患儿表现出提示幼年特发性关节炎的临床和放射学特征。然而，鉴于难治性关节炎进行的后续放射学检查诊断为坏血病，该患者随后仅接受维生素C治疗便恢复良好。
