    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<b>Introduction: </b>Scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency and manifests with a variety of symptoms including generalized fatigue, apathy, anemia, myalgias, easy bruising, and poor wound healing. It is generally thought of as a disease of the past, especially in developed countries. However, vitamin C deficiency still occurs, especially in patients with lack of access to fruits and vegetables. Other micronutrient deficiencies, including vitamin D deficiency, are also prevalent and can cause a multitude of signs and symptoms including osteomalacia, muscle weakness, and increased risk of many chronic illnesses.<p></p><p><b>Case Report:</b> Here we present a case of vitamin C and D deficiency in a previously healthy 26-year-old man during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in urban America.</p><p></p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Severe nutritional deficiencies still exist today. Emergency clinicians should be aware of the signs and symptoms to promptly diagnose and initiate treatment.</p>",
