Australian man diagnosed with scurvy, a disease doctors 'thought we had eradicated'
www.abc.net.au
Doctors say scurvy, best associated with sailors' lack of fresh fruit and vegetables on long sea voyages, is a "re-emerging diagnosis" — partly due to cost-of-living pressures.

The cost-of-living squeeze and poor diets are putting people at a higher risk of developing scurvy, with a case caused by an acute vitamin C deficiency recently treated at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth.
