The authors observed 723 cases of inguinal lymphogranuloma (4th venereal disease. Ref.) And found the disease to be identical to that described in Europe. Using antigen from Stockholm, they observed a positive reaction in their patients. The number of cases in Japan is increasing. Frequent symptoms of the disease are: in men - buboes, in women - rectal strictures. Antibodies are observed in the blood, the cerebrospinal fluid remains normal. In men, it is possible to reproduce experimentally superinfection.
