Abstract
The case records of 189 patients with gonorrheal ophthalmia, who were treated at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary from 1916 through 1931 were reviewed to see if those who had a gonorrheal genital infection had a better prognosis as to the eye condition than did the others. Only records of patients over six months of age were considered and only those patients in whom at least two positive conjunctival smears were obtained. The conclusion is that the prognosis of a patient's gonorrheal ophthalmia cannot be judged by the presence or absence of a similar genital infection. From the Eye Clinic of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
