  • Title: [Evaluation of infectious, inflammatory external eye diseases].
    Author: Bialasiewicz AA, Barthelmess S, Lang GK, Jahn GJ, Blenk H.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1984 Sep; 185(3):174-6. PubMed ID: 6387260.
    Abstract:
    Over a period of 4 months the authors observed 240 outpatients with 302 "red eyes." Oculogenital strains of Chlamydia trachomatis were diagnosed in 12.5% of these cases. Bacterial monoinfections were found in 13.9%, coinfections in 63.9%. The remaining 9.7% included Candida sp. (4%) and Herpes I (1.4%) infections, while 4.3% remained unidentified. Allergic conjunctivitis and "dry eye" syndromes were not considered separately in this study. Specific antibiotic therapy improved the clinical condition due to "saprophytic" bacterial coinfections, indicating the pathogenic importance of this type of infection.
