Highly restrictive diets, especially for children with allergies, may increase the risk of scurvy in otherwise healthy children.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal | last = Brambilla | first = Alice | last2 = Pizza | first2 = Cristina | last3 = Lasagni | first3 = Donatella | last4 = Lachina | first4 = Lucia | last5 = Resti | first5 = Massimo | last6 = Trapani | first6 = Sandra | date = May 1, 2018 | title = Pediatric Scurvy: When Contemporary Eating Habits Bring Back the Past.|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5946015/|journal=Frontiers in Pediatric|volume=6|doi=10.3389/fped.2018.00126}}</ref> In hospital patients, it can be highly prevalent, but often unrecognized.<ref name="Robitaille2016" /> Medical awareness of this potentially important disorder is hindered by the inability of most hospital laboratories to determine plasma [[Vitamin C]] concentrations.
