An epidemic disease broke out among our troops stationed in Korea during the autumn months of 1951; a summary of its characteristic features as seen in 40 cases treated at the British Commonwealth General Hospital, Kure, Japan, has been presented, together with some of its complications. Its aetiology remains obscure; its similarity to anicteric forms of Weil's disease is noted. Chemotherapeutic and antibiotic agents have been proved of doubtful value in treatment.My thanks are due to Lieutenant-Colonel K. P. Brown, RAMC, officer in charge of medical division, for reading this paper and making helpful suggestions. Grateful acknowledgments are due to all those medical officers who have assisted with their case notes of the patients they have treated. For permission to publish this paper I am indebtedto Colonel J. E. Snow and the Director-General, Army Medical Service.
