[Scurvy, a serious and rare form of avitaminosis, easily diagnosed and treated. Presentation of a case].

We report a 66 years-old man case that was admitted with abdominal wall hemorrhagic swelling ecchymosis on inferior extremities and perifollicular purpura with hyperkeratosis of the follicles, which gives it an appearance of palpable purpura, together with gingival hemorrhage and moderate anemia. He was a well-nourished sick man but who made a peculiar diet, practically free from fruit and vegetables which developed a pure and serious form of scurvy. We report this case because we consider that the features which appear are illustrative to provide the immediate clinical diagnosis of this uncommon disease, potentially mortal, but easy to diagnose, if we think about it in the adequate clinical contexts, and which it is quickly curable with the administration of ascorbic acid.

[Acute neurological disclosure of B12 avitaminosis induced by folic acid administration].

A paradigmatic case of acute combined spinal cord degeneration and delirium due to inappropriate administration of folic acid in the context of chronic cobalamin deficiency is described. Rapid improvement was obtained with immediate cessation of folate administration and parenteral cobalamin supplementation. Folic acid and cobalamin prescription rules are recalled. Pathophysiological hypotheses tentatively explaining the neurotoxicity of folic acid in case of vitamin B12 deficiency are summarized.
