| Research Abstract |
Both tuberculosis and Hansen's disease are chronic infection, and were made into the object of the Masao policy. However, although the tuberculosis patient was not isolated, the sufferer of Hansen's disease was isolated. Although the state rehabilitated the tuberculosis patient by early detection and early treatment and urged it to utilize as "human resources", it did not consider that the sufferers of Hansen's disease who bring about a serious physical disability were "human resources." Therefore, even if forced isolation of the sufferer of Hansen's disease was carried out and he recovered, it was not allowed to come out of a sanatorium.
