To the question of the treatment of blepharitis with diamond greens

Abstract

Back at the end of the last century, many authors (Rozsaliegyi Behring, Stilling, etc.) noted the bactericidal effect of aniline paints, including Brillantgrün. Garbachevsky sketched a delay in the development of anthrax bacilli in serum with malachite greens at a dilution of 1:40,000. According to Rome, Gebb'a and Lohlein'a Brillantgrün acts best on Staphylococcus, diplo bacilli, streptococcus and gonococcus, and on staphylococcus and dpplobacilli it acts at a dilution of 1:40,000, on streptococcus at a dilution of 1:2500, on gonococcus only at a dilution of 1:300. Recently, the good disinfecting effect of diamond greens is also indicated by B a kal l, who conducted experiments on the effect of this green on E. coli and Staphylococcus. At the same time, it turned out that E. coli is killed in vitro in the dilution of brilliant greens 1:400, while staphylococcus is already killed at a rate of 1:4000 with a five-minute exposure. The same author disinfected the surgical field with diamond greens: 1% aqueous solution, 1% (40°) alcohol and 1% (96°) alcohol, and obtained equally good results in terms of sterilization of the surgical field. In the same way, the author achieved 1% (96°) with an alcohol solution of diamond greens complete sterilization of cutting tools within 15 minutes. Petrosyants performed experiments with diamond greens in order to find out its bactericidal nature and came to the same conclusion as Bacall.
