| Abstract: | Research work and clinical observations have proved long ago that the Brucella group of microorganisms may give rise to pathological changes in the eyes. Fabian in 1912 performed experimental work on guinea-pigs and described a deep Keratitis from which he was able to isolate these germs. In 1928 Orloff described the pathological changes in eyes of guinea-pigs which died of Melitensis infection. These findings, both pathologically and clinically, were similar to those occurring in ocular tuberculosis. |
