The only spell of bad health which Dedekind had experienced was 10 years after he was appointed to the Brunswick Polytechnikum when he had a serious illness, shortly after the death of his father. However he completely recovered and, as we mentioned, remained in good health.
Ang lamang spell ng masamang lagay ng kalusugan na karanasan ay Dedekind nagkaroon ng 10 taon matapos na siya ay hihirangin upang angkinin ang Brunswick Polytechnikum kapag siya ay nagkaroon ng malubhang sakit, sa ilang sandali lamang matapos ang kamatayan ng kanyang ama. Gayunman siya ay ganap na mababawi at, tulad ng nabanggit namin, naiiwan sa magandang kalusugan.
