FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: lachrymal fluid is examined for extracellular peroxidase activity (EPA) both pre-therapy, and on the 7th therapeutic day. The EPA variation index is calculated as the relation of the EPA value on the 7th therapeutic day to the pre-therapy EPA value. If the EPA variation index exceeds 0.87, an unfavourable clinical course is predicted. ^ EFFECT: use of the method enables early prediction of the clinical course of bacterial conjunctivitis. ^ 1 tbl, 5 ex |
