H Freyler, and W Sehorst

After description of the clinical and serological features of an epidemic keratoconjunctivitis caused by adeno-virus (Type 8) the author compares results of 4 methods of treatment. The schedule consisted of "Okuzell-Coldan" eye drops as placebo, eye drops of corticosteroid content, intramuscular inoculation with Interferonogen and a combined treatment with 0.3 percent "Neutralrot" eye drops and radiation with daylight lamp HPR 125 W produced by Philips Co. Ltd. The transition from the conjunctival form to the keratic form could be best prevented through the last named therapy.
