Thirty-five year-old Amadeus Mozart died in Vienna after an acute illness that lasted only 15 days but no consensus has been reached on the cause of his death. From many letters written by his farther it is almost certain that he experienced at least three episodes of acute rheumatic fever attack in his childhood, and a relapse of rheumatic fever was suggested to have killed Mozart, although death from acute rheumatic fever is very rare in adults. His last illness was characterized by high fever, massive edema, vomiting and skin rash. His last illness can be explained by infectious endocarditis and heart failure. During his last hours, he was given phlebotomy, possibly for the third time in two weeks, and soon after he became unconscious and died. As such, phlebotomy performed on a man dehydrated by high fever and vomiting may have caused systemic shock. In summary, Mozart probably died from chronic rheumatic heart disease complicated by infective endocarditis and heart failure, and repeated phlebotomy-induced hypovolemic shock.

“…Autores médicos como Bar (1966) (7), Katner (1969) (7), Neumayr (1994) (15), Baroni (1997) (16), la internista Faith Fitzgerald (2001), profesora en la escuela de medicina de la Universidad de California ( 17), y Miranda (2008) (18), entre otros, han planteado que la fiebre reumática fue adquirida por él desde la infancia y su evolución crónica lo llevó a la muerte. Teniendo en cuenta los criterios diagnósticos de Jones, Mozart pudo tener un criterio mayor (dos episodios comprobados de poliartritis) y dos criterios menores: fiebre y poliartralgias.…”

Las hipótesis en torno a las patologías que tuvo Wolfang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) en su vida, la enfermedad final y la causa de su muerte han generado alrededor de 160 diagnósticos diferentes. En este trabajo se analizan las causas más pertinentes desde el punto de vista de la Medicina Interna y se plantea que es improbable que fuese un enfermo crónico, o un paciente psiquiátrico, o tuviese un síndrome genético, o hubiese sido envenenado. Se concluye que en los dos últimos meses de su existencia presentó una posible hipertensión arterial sistémica severa y luego desarrolló un síndrome nefrótico o nefrótico-nefrítico causado, quizá, por una fiebre tifoidea y aparecieron las complicaciones de una Insuficiencia Renal Aguda en sus últimos días y un Accidente Cerebro Vascular hemorrágico final.

“…Bär 40 [1] hat diese Theorie übernommen und ausgebaut, die in jüngerer Zeit vor allem von dem Wiener Internisten Anton Neumayr [49] und anderen [16] vertreten worden ist. In dem oben erwähnten Gutachten von Guldener von Lobes wird "Rheumatisches Entzündungsfieber" ("febbre reumatico infiammatoria") als Todesursache angegeben.…”

In the Mozart year 2006 also medicine has to deal with the music genius W.A. Mozart. It has been intensely discussed for a long time whether Mozart was poisoned, whether he deceased from a certain illness, or by self-medication and/or medical procedures. Consequently, his death caused wild speculations and adventurous assertions. Many authors assume that Mozart was a chronically ill man all his life. However, most of Mozart's described illnesses were harmless, and his unbelievable amount of work proves his extraordinary efficiency. The exact cause of death remains speculative. The story of a tall stranger dressed in somber gray who assigned Mozart to write a Requiem Mass and the circumstances of Mozart's funeral have additionally contributed to the generation of legends. However, if one gathers all known facts, there is no evidence that Mozart was murdered, and the exact cause of his death remains unclear.
