Auguste D. and Alzheimer's disease

Article Abstract:

A 1901 file by German physician Alois Alzheimer concerning a female patient suffering a dementia was recently found in a German psychiatric hospital. Although Alzheimer's disease was later named after the same case study, the file reveals that the patient's dementia was partly due to arteriosclerosis.
