Vitamin C supplementation is generally regarded as benign. There has been a resurgence of interest in the general medical community regarding the use of vitamin C most notably in the care of sepsis. Nonetheless, caution must be taken if supraphysiologic vitamin C supplementation is being administered as it should be considered a medication just like any other. We present a case of hemolysis in a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase- (G6PD-) deficient patient receiving high-dose vitamin C infusions for his rheumatoid arthritis.
补充维生素C通常被认为是安全无害的。在普通医学界,人们对使用维生素C的兴趣再度兴起,尤其是在脓毒症的治疗方面。然而,如果给予超生理剂量的维生素C补充剂,必须谨慎,因为它应被视为与其他任何药物一样的药物。我们报告一例葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)缺乏的患者,因类风湿关节炎接受高剂量维生素C输注后发生溶血的病例。
