THE LACRYMAL APPARATUS 299 



probably metastatic. Calderaro and von Kriidener found Streptococcus 

 pyoyencs and large numbers of influenza bacilli. Moretti observed a 

 suppuration of the lacrymal gland in erysipelas due to the Strepto- 

 coccus. In another case Pes had a negative result. 



In the cases of metastatic gonorrhoaal dacryo-adeiiitis, which are 

 mostly double-sided, abscess formation as a rule does not occur (see 

 the literature on this point in the paper by Pes). In the conjunctival 

 secretion of these cases Gonococci are not found (Casali, Eteviant, 

 Giani). 



Metastatic dacryo-adenitis in influenza is reported by Wicher- 

 kiewicz (Antonelli, Soc. Fran$. d'Ophth., 1905). There is no record 

 given of the bacteriological findings. 



According to the experiments of Valude, De Bono, and Frisco, the 

 lacrymal gland has a comparatively great resistance against experi- 

 mental inoculation. When bacteria enter the gland by way of the 

 blood-stream, according to the Italian authors, they very rapidly show 

 signs of degeneration. Presucjably there is no passage of the bacteria 

 along with the tears.
