摘要
Nutritional deficiency may be a presenting sign of undiagnosed psychiatric illness. in this case, we present a patient with scurvy as a complication of fixed psychotic delusions regarding his diet. Dermatologists may play a crucial role in the recognition of psychiatric illnesses and appropriate referral for care.
