Both are diseases, however they are very different. Scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency, whereas Cholera is caused by pathogenic bacteria.

Scurvy can cause weakness, pale skin, tender gums, sunken eyes, muscle pain, internal bleeding, and if untreated, death.

Cholera principally lives in the gut, and causes diarrhea. It is usually transmitted via human wastes.
