最近経驗せる梅毒症例追加

　Ⅰ．緒言

　戰爭の経過中，殊に終戰後には平時に比較して梅毒の罹患率の極めて多い事は，内外の文献に依つて明らかである．果して今次大戰を契機として終戰後には階段状の上昇を示し，特に青年男女層に罹患率の多いことは注目に價する大きな社会的問題である．彼等が次代の建設者なる事を考える時．誠に慨歎に堪えざるものがある．最近爲政者に於ては，この方向に対する重要性を痛感し，対策を練り，徹底的の根絶を期しては居るけれ共，未だに理想とは程遠く，寧ろ漫延の傾向を辿つて居る現状である．

　余も最近外來に於て可成り多数の梅毒症例を経驗したが，多種多樣の症状を呈し，不定型と思われるものが多く‘茲にその数例を一括して報告し，症例を追加したいと考える．

Takano says that recently opportunies in ob-servation of syphilitic patients have been increa-sed to a large measure, particularly in factory districts where large number of young people are obliged to live in dommitories. By casual examiners ost cases of throat complaints are merely passed as simple pharyngitis; yet, upon serological tests many of them prove to be syp-hilitic. It is true, the author states, that some of these cases are irregular enough as to be presenting atypical signs that might be baffling even under most careful considerations. Five selected cases are reported and the importance of performing serological tests in deriving the diagnosis of the disease is emphasized.
