流行性角結膜炎の臨床観察並にオスバン点眼液の応用

Clnical observation on the epidemic kerato-conjuntivitis and the application of osvan (invert soape)

　1955年Jawetz氏が流行性角結膜炎患者（以下EKCと略）からAdeno-virus 8型を分離して以来，諸学者の精力的な研究が続けられ，1959年日眼総会のシンポジアムで杉浦，三井，大石氏等によつてEKCの病原体は主にAdeno-virus 8型であると結論されたことは周知の通りである。

　然し吾々臨床医がEKC患者の治療にあたつて之と云つた有効手段を持たない歯痒さ，次々と発生する家族間伝染，又は外来感染という苦い経験をする時，治療用具，薬品，手指の消毒等煩わしさを思う度毎に適切な予防手段と特効薬の出現を期待すること切である。

The author observed 129 cases with the epidemic kerato-conjunctivitis during the period from Oct. 1959 till Sept. 1960.

1) Of the patients, the male was 79 and the female 50. As for the age, the number of the young patients was the most and that of the patients of 1~10 years old age was the next and that over 40 was the least.
