title: [Bacteriologic and serologic studies].
abstract: With many infectious eye diseases, the practising ophthalmologist is faced by the question as to whether a serologic or microbiologic work-up pays off in terms of greater diagnostic or therapeutic efficiency. A critical appraisal indicates that on average, they are relatively insignificant, and so some time and money could probably be saved. Important exceptions to the rule are discussed separately.
