The author applied autoserotherapy in 10 cases of severe trachoma. and used the following technique: blood in an amount of 3-5 cc. was extracted with a syringe from a vein of the ulnar bend. and placed in a low tube, which was closed with a cotton plug and left at room temperature; in 3-4 hours after that the serum, separated from the clot, was drawn into the syringe again and after preliminary co-cainting of the eye, was injected in an amount of 0.4-1.0 cc into the transitional fold of the upper and lower eyelid. These injections were subsequently repeated.
