Scurvy is a rather uncommon disease today, and its symptoms can certainly be exhibited with vitamin C deficiency. Dangerously low levels of the vitamin can cause serious health complications and have been proven to be fatal. We present the case of a 42-year-old female with multiple primary diagnoses: easy bruising and Raynaud's syndrome without gangrene. The purpose of this report is to call attention to the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of scurvy.
坏血病如今是一种相当罕见的疾病,其症状在维生素C缺乏时确实会出现。维生素水平极低会导致严重的健康并发症,并且已被证明是致命的。我们报告一例42岁女性患者,有多项初步诊断结果:容易出现瘀伤以及患有无坏疽的雷诺氏综合征。本报告的目的是引起对坏血病临床表现、诊断及治疗的关注。
