Description
The perplexing death of John Paul Jones, famed naval commander, was the subject of the 2009 clinicopathological conference. From his mid-20’s until he died at the age of 45, Jones experienced episodes of severe fever, bronchial problems, and a period of eye pain so sore “he was almost blind”. His death was preceded by “anorexia, yellowing of the skin, and swelling of his legs and abdomen”. An autopsy performed 113 years after he died revealed shrunken kidneys with fibrotic glomeruli. Included are the pamphlet announcement of the 2009 conference with Jones' medical history and description of his death, the diagnosis list, and the manuscript of the article that appeared in the American Journal of Nephrology in early 2010. Dr. Weir’s diagnosis of cause of death is IgA nephropathy.
