AbstractScurvy, a rare disease, is still found today in malnourished patients. We recently diagnosed a case of scurvy in a 64-year-old woman resulting from a self-imposed diet. She had severe anemia and the characteristic gingival and skin lesions, which responded dramatically to ascorbic acid therapy. We report this case to make physicians aware of the possibility of scurvy and of its clinical symptoms.
