SPECIAL FORMS OF CONJUNCTIVAL INFECTION 155 



interrupt the operation (extirpation), I suffered from no subsequent 

 trouble. 



We must therefore conclude that these bacilli are, at any rate, far 

 less contagious than the Koch-Weeks bacilli. 



L. Miiller declared that no causal significance had been proved for 

 the influenza bacillus on the conjunctiva. This is so far correct, as 

 no positive proof by inoculation is available ; none the less, I consider 

 it extremely probable that influenza bacilli can occasionally produce a 

 conjunctivitis. These organisms are obviously adapted to a sapro- 

 phytic growth, but under circumstances not yet understood they may 

 produce an inflammatory reaction.
