Although many nutritional deficiencies are associated with Crohn's disease (CD), vitamin C deficiency is less frequently diagnosed and reported despite its prevalence. Vitamin C deficiency may be more difficult to diagnose in patients with CD because symptoms from active CD may overlap with scurvy. Identification of the deficiency is vital, however, because treatment can lead to swift, marked resolution of symptoms. We present a patient with long-standing CD who presented with gum bleeding and was found to have scurvy.
尽管许多营养缺乏症都与克罗恩病（CD）相关，但维生素C缺乏症尽管普遍存在，却较少被诊断和报道。维生素C缺乏症在CD患者中可能更难诊断，因为活动性CD的症状可能与坏血病的症状重叠。然而，识别这种缺乏症至关重要，因为治疗可以迅速显著缓解症状。我们报告了一名患有长期CD的患者，该患者出现牙龈出血，被发现患有坏血病。
