Abstract

The authors analyse the correspondence between Eça de Queiroz, a well-known Portuguese writer, and her wife, in 1900, describing the neurological disease of their second son, José Maria d'Eça de Queiroz, know as Zezé. In those letters, the writer mentions chorea as his son diagnosis, explaining in detail its clinical picture. In addition, the writer reveals the medical thoughts of the time about the aetiology, treatment and natural history of Sydenham's Chorea.
