Platelet function tests were carried out on eight elderly patients with clinical and biochemical scurvy. These results are compared with the results of similar tests carried out on 14 normal elderly persons, 15 elderly persons with senile purpura and 27 young normal subjects. The findings and significance of these are discussed.
