徴兵検査より観たる「トラホーム』に就て—久留米師団管内

On Trachoma in the Physical Examination for Conscription :Kurume Division, from 1942 to 1944

緒言

　日支事変及び大東亜戦争に際して，小倉陸軍病院及び久留米陸軍病院に応召中に，徴兵検査及びその他の色々の検査に於ける眼の検査を相当多数の人に就て行う機会があつたのであるが，今回は徴兵検査より観たる久留米師団管内のトラホームに就て報告せんとするものである。

In the physical examination for conscription of Kurume Division from 1942 to 1944, percentage of contraction of trachoma is low at clean area, farm and mountain villages, and is high at the lower reaches of a large river, especially at the coast of Ariake Bay. Considering in connection with examination and investigation after that, I am interested in this fact.
