Provided are a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) that is suited to the pathogenic mechanism of ROP and a method of testing for ROP. The therapeutic or prophylactic agent for ROP uses at least one substance from the group consisting of inhibitors against tryptase derived from mast cells and/or mast cell stabilizers as an active ingredient. The testing method for ROP includes detecting a marker substance that can be released by degranulation of mast cells in a biological sample originating from a patient and determining the presence or absence of ROP on the basis of the detected amount of the marker.

[PROBLEMS] To observe a state of an infant without mounting a measurement device on the infant, thereby enabling early finding of various diseases and reducing spiritual burden on parents required for observation. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] An imaging device (2) images the infant and outputs the motion picture of the infant as digital data. An analysis device (1) identifies at least one of the four limbs of the infant from the motion picture of the infant imaged by the imaging device (2) and identifies a disease and/or a symptom of the infant.
