Abstract
N-Chlorotaurine (NCT) is an endogenous microbicidal oxidant. This open pilot study (phase IIa) with 9 patients was done to gain first knowledge on the tolerance of NCT in infectious conjunctivitis. By application of 1% NCT 5 times a day, no adverse effects could be observed. All 6 subjects with bacterial conjunctivitis were cured within 3–5 days. Two subjects with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis were treated for 7–10 days and 1 subject with herpes simplex blepharitis for 3 days with no rapid improvement but probable mitigation of inflammation. Therefore, NCT seems to be useful in the treatment of infectious conjunctivitis, and further investigation on its therapeutic efficacy is suggested.
