Health Issues
For the final 15 years of his life, Hutten suffered from the 'French disease' (or syphilis), of which he died. He wrote a text in 1519, De morbo gallico (On the French disease) about the symptoms of what is thought to be syphilis and its treatment with Guaiacum. His text is regarded as one of the first patient narratives in the history of medicine.
