The author tested the effect of 2 gold preparations which were made in Japan in several cases of acute leprous iridocyclitis and drew the following conclusions.
1) "Aurothiphenol-m-carbonsaures Natrium (Takeda)" is used in 22 cases, the effect of which is very excellent. Chiefly it is curable for pain of the eye and the n. fasialis(60%), then for the congestion of the eye(40%), but relativ weak for the restoring the visual power(9%). This drug has little by-effect, and when there is seen acut exacerbation of the eye diseases or bleeding of the iris in the course of the injection, it should be careful in the use of the drug.
2) " Gold-Olganosol (Horiba-Odagiri) " is used for 6 cases and brings a little and slowly appearing effect, as it is injected subcutaneously.
The both preparations, however, have brought no effect upon the parenchymatous leprous infiltration of the cornea and sclera.
