Abstract
A microbiocidal solution for in vivo and in vitro treatment of microbial infections containing an electrolyzed saline solution having a content of regulated amounts of ozone and active chlorine species. The ozone content is 5 to 100 mg/L (milligram per liter) and the chlorine species content is 5 to 300 parts per million (ppm). The active chlorine species comprises free chlorine, hypochlorous acid and the hypochlorite ion as measured by a chlorine selective electrode. The solution is prepared by subjecting a 1% or less saline to electrolysis under conditions sufficient to produce the active ingredients. The solution is used at an isotonic saline concentration and my be adjusted with hypertonic saline. The solution is used in vitro treatments of infected whole blood, blood cells or plasma to reduce contamination. The solution may also be administered to warm blooded animals, including humans by intravenous injection.
