"First, the swift and full response of these patients’ parkinsonism to vitamin C replacement underscores the importance of considering a vitamin C deficiency when confronted with EPS [Extrapyramidal (Neurological) symptoms]. And second, both patients lacked signs of bleeding or of impaired collagen synthesis. This differs from the classic presentation of scurvy as a disorder primarily of collagen metabolism."

Not the first report of vitamin C deficiency in modern times.
