[Morphogenesis and features of the pathogenesis of adenovirus and chlamydial infections of the conjunctiva].
Morphogenesis of adenovirus (epidemic keratoconjunctivitis) and chlamydia (paratrachoma) infections was studied on the material consisting of scrapings of the conjunctiva and biopsy specimens taken from 410 patients, by histological, cytological, histo- and cytochemical electron-microscopic and immunohistochemical methods. The investigations conducted showed that the morphogenesis of adenovirus and chlamydia infection of the conjunctiva was underlaid by a complex of pathological disorders including changes in the epithelium, where the cytopathogenic effect of the pathogene was realized, and changes in the conjunctiva tissue proper, the latter being transformed in these infections into the organ of immunogenesis.
