INTRODUCTION
Pulmonary hypertension secondary to scurvy is a rare manifestation that historically has not been well studied and is only described in a handful of case reports.
CASE
Our case is about a 35-year-old female with a history significant for drug and tobacco abuse, obesity, poor diet, anxiety, and major depressive disorder who was found to have severe pulmonary hypertension in the setting of vitamin C deficiency (<0.01 mg/L).
CONCLUSION
We present a case that shows pulmonary hypertension can be associated with scurvy and reversed rapidly with adequate vitamin C supplementation.
引言
坏血病继发的肺动脉高压是一种罕见表现，历史上对此研究不足，仅在少数病例报告中有描述。
病例
我们的病例是一名35岁女性，有药物和烟草滥用、肥胖、饮食不良、焦虑及重度抑郁症病史，在维生素C缺乏（<0.01mg/L）的情况下被发现患有严重肺动脉高压。
结论
我们报告一例病例，显示肺动脉高压可与坏血病相关，补充足够的维生素C后可迅速逆转。
