Abstract
Fourteen patients with confirmed adenovirus (kerato-) conjunctivitis were treated at random with either exogenous interferon alpha (Le) (3 x 10(6) IU/ml, 1 drop daily) or with albumin. We observed no clinically relevant therapeutic effects. However, interferon seemed to exert a prophylactic effect on uninflamed fellow eyes. The prophylactic potency of interferon in adenovirus (kerato-)conjunctivitis should be evaluated in further controlled trials.Entities:
