Augusta Deter was a German woman who became the first patient to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease by Alois Alzheimer in the early 20th century. Her case significantly contributed to the understanding of the disease, as she exhibited severe memory loss and cognitive decline at the age of 50. Following her death at 55, Dr. Alzheimer performed an autopsy that revealed neurohistopathological features characteristic of the disease, which remain essential in Alzheimer's research today.
