What are the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency?
The deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy, which is characterized by pathological symptoms limited almost exclusively to mesenchymal support tissues (bones, dentin, cartilage, and connective tissue).
In adults, scurvy is characterized by ulcers, swollen gums, loose teeth, changes in capillary integrity, anorexia, and anemia. In infants fed on breast milk without adequate supplementation with vegetable sources of vitamin C, scurvy is characterized by weakness, swollen joints, difficulty moving, hemorrhagic spots, difficult-to-heal wounds, and anemia.
a) Only the first statement is correct.
b) Only the second statement is correct.
c) Both statements are correct.
d) Both statements are incorrect.

A resposta correta é a letra "c) Ambas as afirmações estão corretas". A deficiência de vitamina C causa escorbuto, que é caracterizado por sintomas patológicos limitados quase exclusivamente aos tecidos de suporte mesenquimais (ossos, dentina, cartilagem e tecido conjuntivo). Em adultos, o escorbuto é caracterizado por úlceras, gengivas inchadas, dentes soltos, alterações na integridade capilar, anorexia e anemia. Em bebês alimentados com leite materno sem suplementação adequada com fontes vegetais de vitamina C, o escorbuto é caracterizado por fraqueza, articulações inchadas, dificuldade de movimento, manchas hemorrágicas, feridas de difícil cicatrização e anemia.
