title: [Unilateral isolated purpura disclosing scurvy].
abstract: We report a case of scurvy. This case is interesting by the unilateral character of the ecchymotic leg's purpura. Ascorbic acid assays do not yet enable subclinical vitamin C deficiency to be reliably detected. Hence the importance of knowing the situation which expose to this deficiency.
