  • Title: The medical history and death of Mozart.
    Author: Jenkins JS.
    Journal: J R Coll Physicians Lond; 1991 Oct; 25(4):351-3. PubMed ID: 1960696.
    Abstract:
    The medical history and final illness of Mozart are reviewed in the light of information provided by the letters of the composer and his family. Early in his life there is no doubt that he suffered from a series of infective diseases which were common in 18th century Europe, and died of an acute epidemic illness. There is no clinical evidence for the widespread belief that his last years were dogged by chronic disease and that he died in renal failure.
