日本腦炎の病理解剖學的所見—昭和23年及び昭和25年度剖検例に就て

Pathologic Lesions Caused by Japarnese Encephalitis:on Autopsy Cases in 1948 and 1950 at Sendai

關東，關西地方に於ける如き熾烈な流行記録は無いにしても，例年仙臺市には腦炎が發生し，終戰後公衆衛生的な見地から特に日本腦炎への關心が亢められた。仙臺市中央保健所の調査によれば昭和25年度に市内患者は45名に達し14名の死亡を見ているが，そのうち12名は剖検を經て病變が確認されている。なお昭和23年度に7例の剖検があつたので兩者を比較し，特に腦炎病巣の分布状況を調べて見た。（昭和22年度及び24年度は吉田教授の擔當になつている。）

With 19 cases of Japanese encephalitis in recent years, distribution of glia nodules and perivascular infiltration were estimated math-ematically on routine slides of various parts of the brain. As a whole, thalamus was affected most severely and cerebellum at the least. Most cases were dead on the 6th hospital day. There seems to be a certain corelation betwee n age incidence and intensity of the focal le sions. Children and old subjects were affected frequently There was no autopsy case of middle ag. es. Other morbid changes e. g., that of the lung, liver, spleen, kidneys, suprarenals and thyroid were described. There was no de-finite lesion complicating Japanese encephalitis.
