Abstract
Vitamin C deficiency can occur in industrialized nations in at-risk populations, such as those with a history of smoking, alcohol use, restrictive diet, poor oral intake, psychiatric disorders, dementia, bone marrow transplantation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or end-stage renal disease. In this case series, we present 4 hospitalized patients with thrombocytopenia and a range of risk factors for micronutrient deficiency who were diagnosed with scurvy.
