Abstract
The experimental endophthalmitis was obtained by the injection of streptococcus hemolyticus into the anterior chamber of the rabbit's eyes and the effect of ginseng was observed. Topical use of atropine and oxytetracycline ointments was done for 11 days, and systemic administration of chloramphenicol and procaine penicillin was done for 8 days in infected rabbits. In the grade of aqueous flare the inflammatory sign seemd to be relatively milder in the group of pretreatment with ginseng than the others by the slit lamp biomicroscopic examination on 11 th day of infection. But lymphocytic cellular infiltration of the iris and ciliary body associated with neovascularization of the iris were thought to be relatively milder in the control group than the other ginseng treated group by histopathological examination. Above two different findings showed that the result of this study is not reliable, and other studies shall be done further more.
