This case study highlights the fact that scurvy is a disease that exists, albeit rarely, even in developing countries. The diagnosis can be missed, yet it can be treated easily. Therefore, groups at high risk of malnutrition should be kept under a high level of suspicion. Timely intervention and management can relieve the patient of symptoms and suffering, and the patient can gradually recover completely.
