Abstract
- We report the case of a 82-year-old man, living in institution, hospitalized for a severe anaemia due to scurvy. Scurvy is rare in Occident. A multifactorial anaemia is usually associated with scurvy, but is rarely symptomatic. Alcoholism favours scurvy and anaemia. Treatment consisted of parenteral vitamin C supplementation associated with blood transfusion.
