DID KEYNES HAVE SYPHILIS?

John Maynard Keynes; sífilis; endocarditis bacteriana.
Resumen
Basándose en material de archivo hasta ahora inédito, este artículo explora la hipótesis de que John Maynard Keynes pudo haber padecido sífilis. A partir del marco clásico para el diagnóstico retrospectivo de esta enfermedad, se analizan su vida sexual, la evolución de sus síntomas y los tratamientos médicos que recibió. Un aspecto especialmente revelador es que la mezcla de sustancias tóxicas que le administraron en los años previos a su muerte coincide con el Tratamiento Combinado que entonces se empleaba contra la sífilis. El estudio pone en duda que sufriera endocarditis bacteriana y plantea que la sífilis cardio- vascular es la explicación más plausible. Además de su problema cardíaco, el artículo ayuda a comprender mejor el estado de salud general de Keynes.
