枯草菌に因る全眼球炎の1例

A Case of Panophthalmitis by Bacillus subtils.

緒言

　元来枯草菌に因る眼感染症は稀な疾患であり，大多数は眼外傷に引続き発症する。

　私が調査し得た本邦文献に於いては，明治39年小松初太郞氏発表以来24例に過ぎず，殊に戦後は昭和26年森田裕氏の一例のみである。

Panophthalmitis of a man aged 52, caused from iron-perforative trauma, turned out that its causative bacterium was B. subtilis from the author's streak, cultivation and experiment. The animal experiment of infusing physiological saltwater-diluted solution of B.subtilis seperated from the focus into the vitreous of a normal rabbit resulted in typical Panophthal-rnitis. B. subtilis showed the greatest sensibility against Streptomycin and the order of its sensibility was such as Chloromycetin, Aureomycin and Terramycin. Penicillin and sulfani-lamide showed no sensibility against B. subtilis.
