Scurvy
Scurvy (N.Lat. scorbutus) is a deficiency disease that results from insufficient intake of  vitamin C, which is required for correct collagen synthesis in humans. The scientific name of vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is derived from the Latin name of scurvy, scorbutus. Scurvy leads to the formation of liver spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from all mucous membranes. The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth.

Szkorbut
Szkorbut (gnilec) (łac. scorbutus) - choroba wielonarządowa wywołana niedoborem kwasu askorbinowego w pożywieniu. Główne objawy dotyczą tkanki łącznej, ponieważ witamina C jest koenzymem hydroksylaz prolinowej i lizynowej, które katalizują powstanie poprzecznych wiązań kowalencyjnych między cząstkami tropokolagenu. Brak kwasu askorbinowego oznacza brak aktywności tych enzymów a co za tym idzie brak dojrzewania kolagenu.

Fu James Lind (1716-1794), un chirurgo navale britannico a pubblicare per primo un Trattato sullo scorbuto per dimostrare che la malattia era causata da una dieta povera di verdura e frutta fresca e che quindi poteva essere prevenuta assumendo questi alimenti regolarmente. Mentre fu Francis Glisson a riportare il primo caso di scorbuto infantile.
