The C in Covid Might Denote Vitamin C Deficiency |Biomedgrid

The patient who is the subject of this study is a 37-yearold male unemployed carpenter, who took very seriously public health advice to sequester himself at home during the early days of the recent Covid pandemic. He remained in his Philadelphia city apartment, rarely going out and mostly living on his couch and watching TV. During that time, he ordered out for food, almost exclusively eating plain pizza three times a day, morning, noon, and night. After about three months of living under these conditions, he began to feel unwell. He had some difficulty in walking due to pain in his groin and left thigh. On close inspection the thigh appeared ecchymotic, with a giant bruise extending from the groin medially into the muscles and soft tissues of the thigh, seemingly penetrating the sheaths and muscles of the adductor longus, adductor magnus and gracilus. He experienced severe pain on abduction of the thigh.
