据报道,悉尼的韦斯敏(Westmead)医院有数名病人被确诊患有坏血病。专家高顿(Jenny Gunton)教授表示,饮食不良可导致坏血病。一些病人伤口很久没有愈合,但是通过几个疗程的维生素C治疗,伤口便很快治愈。
这些患坏血病的病人,有的人很少吃新鲜水果蔬菜或者是几乎不吃;有的人虽然会吃一定数量的蔬菜,但是这些蔬菜却被过度烹饪,其中的维生素C已经被破坏。
部分原文报道如下:
There has been a resurgence of the rare condition of scurvy among a group of diabetes patients at a major western Sydney hospital.
It appears scurvy, a historical disease caused by a lack of vitamin C and generally associated with old-world sailors on long voyages, is making a surprise comeback in Australia, due to poor modern dietary habits.
Clinician-researcher Professor Jenny Gunton heads the Diabetes Centre at the Westmead Institute for Medical Research and investigated whether a vitamin C deficiency was behind one of her patient's unhealed wounds.
