SERUM FOOR RkT-BITE FEVER
Japanese Physicians Declare Cure Is
Obtained From Veins of Persons
Who Have Recovered.

A group Of eminent Japanese doc
tors has been busy studying rat-bite
fever ever since Futaki, Ishiwara and
their associates reported two years ago
the discovery of the micrObe that
causes it. This is a spirochete, So
called because its form is spiral or
Zig-Zag. Several types of this spiro-
chete were found in men who had been
bitten by rats, and in guinea pigs that
had been experimentally inOculated.
These were identified by Futaki as in
all probability identical.
Doctors Renjiro, KanekO and Kikuzo
Okuda of the Imperial university in
Kyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, contribute
to the Journal of Experimental Medi-
cine q confirmation of Futaki's belief :
Doctor RyOkichi Inada contributes a
description of the disease Doctors Yu-
taxa lido, ROkuto Holt, HirOshi Ito and
HiGetsune Wani describe experiments
that prove the rat to be the common
carrier of the SpirOcheta icterohaemOr-
rhagica, as the micrObe Of the disease
is called; and Doctors Yutaka lido, Hi
roshi Ito, Hidetsune Wani and KikuzO
Okuda discuss the possibility Of pro.
ducing immunity.
The latter 60 into details of their
experiments and come to the conclu.
sion that the "serum of persons who
have recovered from rat-bite fever con.
tains an immune body which destroys
the spirochetes of that disease"
The Importance of these articles lies
in the final proof that this spirochete
is the cause of the fever, that rats are
the carriers, and that the disease Car
be cured.
