Er führte die Medizin abseits aller Systeme und Theorien durch die Erfahrung am Krankenbett und ihre Bedeutung für die ärztliche Kunst zum Hippkratismus zurück. Sydenham litt sein seinem 30. Lebensjahre an der Gicht. Er gab eine klassisch gewordene Schilderung dieser Krankheit (Tractatus de Podagra . hier pp.397-499). Sydenham entdeckte die spezifische Wirkung der Chinarinde gegen Malaria und erwarb sich große Verdienste als Epidemiologie und beschrieb als erster den Veitstanz, die Chore minor. cf. Sigerist, Große Ärzte Sydenham erbrachte mit der Erfassung des Typischen und seiner Manifestation die logischen Voraussetzungen für eine monographische Bearbeitung von Krankheiten. Mit der Beschreibung der ihn selbst plagenden Gicht sowie der Chorea minor hat er den Anfang gemacht, ihm folgten Glisson (Rachitis), Wepfer (Apoplexie), Morton (Phtisis), etc. cf. Vogt, Bild d. Kranken, p.40 The title of the "English Hippocrates", given to Sydenham by his contemporaries.

Bibliography of Dr. Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689), 9.2.
