Sanatorium (English spelling)

Japanese: サナトリウム（英語表記）sanatorium

A tuberculosis sanatorium. In the past, air rest therapy was the mainstream method of tuberculosis treatment, so they were established in places with good air, such as on plateaus, in the mountains, or on the seashore. However, with the development of chemotherapy, tuberculosis became curable in a short period of time, and the number of tuberculosis patients decreased, so the size of sanatoriums has been shrinking. Today, many sanatoriums have been converted into sanatoriums for treating neurological and mental disorders.

結核療養所のこと。かつては大気安静療法が結核治療の主流を占めていたため，空気のよい高原や山間，海浜などに設けられた。しかし化学療法の発達に伴い，結核が短期間で治癒するようになったことと，結核患者が減少したため，規模の縮小現象がみられる。現在では，神経疾患や精神病などを治療するための療養所に変ったものが多い。
