What is conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the mucous membrane that lines the eyelids and covers the white of the eyeball. Symptoms of conjunctivitis include redness, discharge, burning, and sometimes itching and light sensitivity. It can occur in one eye or both. What causes conjunctivitis? The most common cause of conjunctivitis is a viral infection. Other causes include seasonal allergies, bacterial infection, and reactions to eye medications. How is conjunctivitis transmitted? Viral conjunctivitis can be transmitted from one person to another by casual contact, sharing towels or pillow cases, facial contact, or sharing of cosmetics. It can occur before, during, or after a cold or upper respiratory infection because the same virus which causes the cold can cause a conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis is very contagious in the first 10-12 days and may last up to 2-3 weeks. Allergic conjunctivitis usually occurs in the spring and summer and is not contagious. It causes itching in addition to redness and tearing. It is caused by allergies to pollens from plants.

Frequently Asked Questions about Conjunctivitis
Q: What is conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear mucous membrane that covers the white part of the eyeball and the inside of the eyelid. It is the most common eye infection in the United States. Cases may vary from a mild redness with watery eyes to serious infections where vision is impaired or even lost.
Q: What causes conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis happens when the conjunctiva becomes infected, usually by a virus or bacteria. It also can be caused by allergic reactions or chemical irritations.
Q: What are some warning signs or symptoms?
Signs of conjunctivitis are red and irritated eyes. If you have conjunctivitis, you may wake up with your eyelashes stuck together from dried mucus formed during the night. The condition often affects both eyes and causes a gritty feeling. Although vision is usually not affected, your eyes may be very sensitive to light. There is a stickiness of the eyelids. In severe cases the eyelids are swollen. Itching is another common symptom. Conjunctivitis can be confused with a more serious eye disease known as iritis. That's why it is important to have your eye problem diagnosed and treated by a qualified eye care professional.
Q: How is conjunctivitis treated?

Pink Eye
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, a membrane that lines the inside of the eyelid and touches the white part of the eye, secreting a mucous that lubricates the eyeballs. There are many different causes of conjunctivitis. The main causes are the following:
  • Infectious : resulting from bacterial or viral infections.
  • Noninfectious : due to certain allergies (such as pollen or animal dander ) and chemical irritants (such as smoke, preservatives in contact lens solutions and some eye drops, or the chlorine in swimming pools). Allergic Conjunctivitis is usually accompanied by intense symptoms (itching, redness, tearing, and swelling of the eye membranes). It is frequently seasonal, and is accompanied by other typical allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itchy nose, or scratchy throat. Cold moist wash clothes applied to the eyes and over-the-counter decongestant eye drops often provide relief.

Description Conjunctivitis, Allergic : Conjunctivitis due to hypersensitivity to various allergens. [1] Conjunctivitis, Bacterial : Purulent infections of the conjunctiva by several species of gram-negative, gram-positive, or acid-fast organisms. Some of the more commonly found genera causing conjunctival infections are Haemophilus, Streptococcus, Neisseria, and Chlamydia. [1] Conjunctivitis, Viral : Inflammation, often mild, of the conjunctiva caused by a variety of viral agents. Conjunctival involvement may be part of a systemic infection. [1] Conjunctivitis, Inclusion : An infection of the eyes characterized by the presence in conjunctival epithelial cells of inclusion bodies indistinguishable from those of trachoma. It is acquired by infants during birth and by adults from swimming pools. The etiological agent is CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS whose natural habitat appears to be the genito-urinary tract. Inclusion conjunctivitis is a less severe disease than trachoma and usually clears up spontaneously. [1] Chlamydia trachomatis : Type species of CHLAMYDIA causing a variety of ocular and urogenital diseases. [1]

Acute Pediatric Conjunctivitis Rudolph S. Wagner, MD
Introduction
Acute conjunctivitis in children is usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergy. The differential diagnosis of conjunctival inflammation includes nasolacrimal duct obstruction, trauma, corneal abrasions, ulcers, and iritis. Herpes simplex infection and infantile glaucoma also must be considered. Allowing these conditions to remain undetected may result in serious visual consequences. On rare occasions, conjunctivitis has been associated with serious systemic diseases, such as Kawasaki syndrome and Lyme disease.
Bacterial Conjunctivitis
Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae have been found to be the most frequent causative organisms in acute bacterial conjunctivitis. In an important prospective study, Gigliotti and coworkers at the University of Virginia cultured conjunctival samples from 99 patients with conjunctivitis and 102 age-matched and season-matched controls. Three organisms were isolated more often from patients with conjunctivitis than from the controls: H. influenzae

Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane (covering) of the eye or eyelid. Infectious conjunctivitis, or "pink eye", is a highly contagious infection that is caused by bacteria or a virus. It is most common among children. When conjunctivitis is triggered by allergies, it is called allergic conjunctivitis and can affect anyone. What is the difference between infectious conjunctivitis and allergic conjunctivitis?

NATURE CURE Conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis refers to the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent membrane covering the front of the eye. It is also known as " sore eyes" and is a very common form of eye trouble. It spreads from person to person through direct contract. Overcrowding, dirty surroundings and unhealthy living conditions can cause epidemics of this ailment. Symptoms
The eyeball and under side of the eyelids become inflamed. At first, the eyes are red, dry and burning. Later, there may be a watery secretion. IN more serious cases, there is pus formation. During sleep, this material dries, making the eye-lashes stick together. Causes
Medical science believes that conjunctivitis results from bacterial infection, viruses or eye-strain. Prolonged work under artificial light and excessive use of the eyes in one way or the other no doubt contributes towards the disease. But its real cause can be traced to a catarrh a condition of the system resulting from general toxaemia due to dietetic errors and faulty style of living . The patient generally suffers from colds or other ailments indicative of a general catarrhal condition. The Cure
The treatment of conjunctivitis through salves and ointments does not cure the disease. To be effective, treatment must be constitutional. A thorough cleansing of the system and adoption of natural laws in diet and general living alone can help eliminate conjunctivitis.

    Conjunctivitis
    Definition
    • Conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye because the white part of the eye becomes pink) is inflammation (swelling) of the mucous membrane lining the eye (the conjunctiva). This is often accompanied by itching and watery eyes and sometimes blurred vision, eye pain and sensitivity to light. This inflammation can be caused by physical injury, allergies, or chemical exposure, but is most commonly caused by bacterial or viral infection. These infections can be highly contagious and spread rapidly among schoolchildren or families. Bacterial conjunctivitis can be treated with antibiotic eye drops prescribed by a physician whereas viral conjunctivitis usually clears up on its own if strict hygiene is followed.
    MSDS Relevance
      Exposure to chemicals that irritate the eyes (such as lachrymators ) can cause conjunctivitis or make existing conjunctivitis worse. Seek medical treatment if the condition does not clear up on its own.

2.02 Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Presentation
The patient complains of a red eye, a sensation of fullness, burning, itching, or scratching, and perhaps a gritty or foreign body sensat ion and tearing or purulent discharge and crusting or mattering. Examination discloses generalized injection of the conjunctiva, thinning out towards the cornea (localized inflammation suggests some other diagnosis such as a foreign body, episcleritis, or a viral or bacterial ulcer). Vision and pupillary reactions should be normal and the cornea and anterior chamber should be clear. Any discomfort should be temporarily relieved by instilling topical anesthetic solution. Deep pain, photophobia, decreased vision and injection more pronnounced around the limbus (ciliary flush) suggest more serious involvement of the cornea and iris. Different symptoms suggest different etiologies. Tearing, preauricular lymphadenopathy and upper respiratory symptoms suggest a viral conjunctivitis. Pain upon awakening with lid crusting and a copious purulent exudate suggests a bacterial conjunctivitis. Few symptoms upon awakening but discomfort worsening during the day suggests a dry eye. Little conjunctival injection with a seasonal recurrence of chemosis and itching, and cobblestone hypertrophy of the tarsal conjunctiva suggests allergic (vernal) conjunctivitis. Physical and chemical conjunctivitis, caused by particles, solutions, vapors, natural or occupational irritants that inflame the conjunctiva, should be evident from the history.

Conjunctivitis
(pink eye) What is conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis or pink eye is an inflammation of the outer lining of the eye. Conjunctivitis is frequently caused by infectious agents, either viruses or bacteria. Conjunctivitis can also be caused by an allergy problem or by exposure to chemicals that irritate the eye. Anyone can get conjunctivitis, but family members and close friends of someone with infectious conjunctivitis are at increased risk. How do you get it?
In infectious conjunctivitis, the fluids from an infected person's eyes are highly contagious. Therefore, it can be passed from person-to-person via contaminated fingers, clothes, towels, and through items such as eye makeup and sunglasses.
What are the symptoms of conjunctivitis?
The symptoms of conjunctivitis may include some or all of the following:
  • a scratchy or painful sensation in one or both eyes; redness in the whites of the eyes; heavy tearing in the eyes; and itchy, swollen eyelids.
When do symptoms start?
For bacterial conjunctivitis , the symptoms usually begin 24 to 72 hours after exposure to the infection. For
