Army Is Conducting
Major Research in
Treatment Of Hepatifis
By Roy Folk
Norih American Nswspapss Ailianes


TOKYO. Jan. 17A very old
but strange sounding disease. In
fectioiIs hepatitis. Is costing the
Army almost as many man hours
as do battle casualties. To keep
its divisions in fighting trim, the
United States Army Medical Corps
in Japan is conducting a major
study In the treatment Of infec-
tious hepatitis.
Hepatitis. a disease Of the liver,
Is commonly miscalled yellow
jaundice. 1.-THE Army considers IL
q constant military problem be-
cause of the many days lost, 7"
said Brig. Gen. William r. Sham
bora. Gen. Matthew b. Ridge
ways surgeon general.
"We are devoting part Of q
hospital in Kyoto City as a center
for hepatitis treatment, and other
patients are resting in other hos
pitfalls IN Japan"
No Medicines Cure It.
Research in hepatitis is con-
currently going on at the Kyoto
hospital. in Germany. and at a
center in Philadelphia. There are
no curative medicines for this
disease.
\ In Kyoto. the doctors are coi1-l
Quoting a four r-way dietary expert
ment. feeding the patients varying
components Of fats, proteins.
carbohydrates and vitamins. Some
men are forced into complete rest
cures, while others are permitted
a semiactive hospital life. 81
\ The purpose Of these studies is
to reduce the time it takes to cure
hepatitis patients. At present, the
average liyer-sick soldier spends
70 days in the hospital. The
soldier is not released until his
liver can handle body requirements
adequately.
It is hoped that when the stud
les of the three centers are cor
related, a preventive treatment
may be discovered. The virus
which hauses hepatitis has been
Identified and transferred In ex-
Iperiments from one set Of human
volunteers to another
The virus can be carried by con-
taminated water. It Is believed
that it also is tranferred by other
unknown ways.
In Korea, the Army has tried
to kill the virus with heavily chlo-
rinated water. There the Army
has used i've parts Of chlorine
in water, instead of one part, but
the doctors are not sure of the
effectiveness Of chlorine. Gen.
Shambora said: eve are still get
ting infections, and it doesn't
mean we would get more infections
if we did not use five parts chlo-
I lrine." .f*.
I Army doctors say that it is
highly probable long lasting i'm
munity is built up" by hepatitis
patients. but. since there are sew
eral types Of hepatitis, it is pos
sible for a cured patient to catch
another variety Of the disease.
An infected man may have the
disease for some time before re-
alizing that he really Is sick. In
some cases he loses weight, his
skin become yellow, and so do his
eyeballs.
/ In serious cases, the patient is
unable to eat. and he has to be
fed intravenously. Under dietary
treatment. he regains his weight,
and puts on SINE extra poundage,
which Gen. Shambora says I'VE
return the patient to normal
weight through convalescent train
