title: [Microbiological and serological verification of cornea donors].
abstract: A study was made during 1994 about microbiological contamination on the donor eyes before enucleation of whole globe. We studied the efficiency of the decontamination method by checking sterility of corneal storage medium after two days. We give results of serological tests on 252 donors.
