Late Radiographic Findings of Infantile Scurvy in Northern Mali, a Region Facing a Humanitarian and Security Crisis

Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. This disease is rare in developed countries, but can occur in developing countries that face food shortages and humanitarian crises. In these countries, the diagnosis is often missed due to the lack of adequate diagnostic equipment. We report a case of scurvy in a 2-year-old boy who was diagnosed late by radiographic findings, which suggested a diagnosis of scurvy.
