Scurvy is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the diet. Vitamin C plays a central role in collagen and ground-substance formation, metabolism of aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine), reduction of folic acid to folinic acid and a broad range of biochemical redox reactions. Clinical features include perifollicular haemorrhages, ecchymoses, swollen bleeding gums, stomatitis and epistaxis.
