Rheumatic manifestations of scurvy

Claudia Ferrari et al. Curr Rheumatol Rep. 2015 Apr.

Abstract

This paper reviews the rheumatological manifestations of scurvy, based on articles published in English from 1965 until October 2014, with a particular focus on rheumatological manifestations. Scurvy is a rare, uncommon disease in developed countries. Due to its clinical heterogeneity, the disease can easily mimic rheumatologic conditions leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment.
