Article Synopsis
- Scurvy, often seen as a condition of the past, is frequently overlooked in children, particularly those with neurodevelopmental disorders, leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests.
- This study presents 10 cases of children diagnosed with scurvy at Amrita Hospital between 2017 to 2022, highlighting their clinical symptoms, imaging results, and recovery after vitamin C treatment.
- Findings suggest that pediatricians and rheumatologists should consider scurvy when faced with unexplained bone pain, and address selective eating habits to prevent complications.
