Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the prevalence of T. tonsurans infection by hairbrush-culture test and the difference in infection spread factors between university and high school by questionnaire survey for athletes affiliated with university judo clubs. As a result, 5.4% were positive in the hairbrush-culture results, and the prevalence was high in male (6.3%). Of the 42 positives, 55% are in the first grade and are likely to have been infected in high school. It was suggested that the degree of understanding of treatment methods for infectious diseases and the implementation of treatment after the onset were significantly lower in high school, and even if the onset occurred, treatment was often not performed or treatment was delayed. In addition, when in high school, there was little guidance on infectious diseases from the instructor, and it was suggested that the infectious disease may be left to the students or the instructor may not have the correct knowledge about infectious diseases.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は過去20年に渡り日本の柔道競技選手に感染拡大している皮膚真菌症について,コロナ禍の2021年度における罹患状況を調査している.調査対象は全国から強豪選手が集う東京学生柔道連盟傘下の大学生柔道選手を対象に年度始めに行っており,1年生の罹患状況から全国的な罹患状況も推察されるため,疫学的にも非常に貴重なデータとなり得る.また,感染拡大の背景因子に関わる質問紙調査において高校時代と大学時代を比較して検討しており,先行研究から高校生の罹患状況が高いとされる背景因子の究明も言及している.競技現場での実際の感染予防対策など社会的な意義も高い.
