Scurvy: A Rare Cause of Anemia

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.
