Abstract
This report describes a toddler who presented to the emergency department with reported leg weakness and a petechial rash who ultimately was diagnosed with severe ascorbic acid deficiency (scurvy) due to restricted dietary intake. The diagnosis was delayed, and this report highlights the role of a detailed dietary history as part of the diagnostic process.
