Abstract
The aim of our report is to present the case of the illness which probably affected Lord Byron's health for the rest of his life. We present three letters of the famous British poet and fighter of the Greek Revolution in 1821, which were sent between 25 September and 3 October 1810. These letters are associated with Byron's illness during his excursion in the ancient monuments of Peloponnese. Lord Byron describes his clinical features with an irregular fever close to malaria but the identification of Plasmodium spp is difficult. According to the environmental conditions and the endemicity of the area, the hypothesis of a mixed species malaria cannot be excluded.
