The special feature of the measure against Hansen's disease in comparison with the measure against tuberculosis at modern times

结核病和汉森氏病都是慢性传染病，都被纳入了正雄政策的对象。然而，虽然肺结核病人没有被隔离，但汉森氏病患者被隔离了。虽然国家通过早期发现和早期治疗使结核病患者康复，并敦促其作为“人力资源”加以利用，但它不认为造成严重身体残疾的汉森病患者是“人力资源”。因此，即使对麻风病患者进行了强制隔离，他康复了，也不允许他走出疗养院。

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.
