Essa condição agrupa várias consequências clínicas secundárias à deficiência de vitamina C, sendo o escorbuto a apresentação mais grave. As populações em risco de deficiência de vitamina C são aquelas para as quais o suprimento de frutas e vegetais é mínimo. As epidemias de escorbuto estão associadas à fome e à guerra, quando o suprimento de alimentos é pequeno e irregular. Crianças alimentadas predominantemente com leite tratado termicamente (ultra/alta temperatura ou pasteurizado) ou fórmulas não fortificadas e que não recebem frutas e sucos de frutas apresentam risco elevado de doenças sintomáticas. | |||
