ABSTRACT
A 53-year-old woman, known with a schizophrenic disorder and a history of drug addiction, was referred because of progressive hematomas of the lower extremities and fatigue. Her medical history included hyperplastic gums, tooth hypermobility and anaemia. Scurvy was diagnosed as a result of an insufficient diet due to drug addiction and a paranoid psychosis. After suppletion of vitamin C and starting highly nutritious food a rapid amelioration of the scurvy related complaints was observed. While dreaded and often fatal in earlier eras, in the 21st century scurvy is easily treatable if this diagnosis is recognised.
