Old news, but new to me!

Dr Katherine Hall, a Senior Lecturer at the Dunedin School of Medicine and practising clinician, believes the ancient ruler did not die from infection, alcoholism or murder, as others have claimed. Instead, she argues he met his demise thanks to the neurological disorder Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Dr Hall has had a long standing interest in ancient history and ancient medical history, and over the past five years has been studying part-time for a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Classics (and with a smattering of Ancient Greek). In CLAS241 lecture on Alexander the Great Associate Professor Pat Wheatley outlined what was known about Alexander’s death; drawing on her clinical knowledge and experience of Intensive Care Medicine she was immediately struck with the idea that this could be a case of the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Six months' research followed, culminating in an article published in The Ancient History Bulletin. In the article she says previous theories around his death in 323BC have not been satisfactory because they have not explained the entire event.

The article appears to be behind a paywall (click to expand volume 32), but it's an extraordinarily rare case of a paywall low enough that it is plausible I might pay it: $2.00 for the article!
