"Scurvy is is often considered a historical ailment, conjuring images of
sailors on long sea voyages suffering from a lack of fresh fruit and
vegetables.

Yet doctors in developed countries have recently reported treating cases of
scurvy, including Australian doctors who reported their findings today in the
journal BMJ Case Reports."
