A decrease in the relative and absolute number of "active" rosette-forming lymphocytes was demonstrated in the peripheral blood of the patients with ophthalmic herpes running a severe course. The correlation between the severity of the disease and the extent of immune response disturbance detectable by the test of "active" rosette-formation suggests that this method can be used clinically for the prognosis of the disease and control of the development of secondary immunological insufficiency.
