[Treatment of chlamydial conjunctivitis]

A new method for treating chlamydial conjunctivitis consists in injections of ciprofloxacine for intravenous injections, which is injected (1 ml) under the inferior vault of the conjunctiva on novocaine pad (0.5 ml 0.5% solution) and intravenously by drip infusion (99 ml) twice daily for 7-10 days. The treatment led to clinical cure in all patients, no relapses were observed. This method ensures a high therapeutic effect and accelerates the recovery of patients with chlamydial conjunctivitis by 4.6 days. The method is recommended for patients with complicated forms of chlamydial conjunctivitis in severe and protracted cases with concomitant urogenital chlamydial infection and concomitant chronic gastrointestinal diseases, when oral antibiotic therapy is undesirable or precluded.
