Inclusion conjunctivitis
Definition
Inclusion conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the membrane that lines the eyelids and covers the white part, or sclera, of the eyeball) by Chlamydia trachomatis . Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted organism.
Description
Inclusion conjunctivitis, known as neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis in the newborn and adult inclusion conjunctivitis in the adult, is also called inclusion blennorrhea, chlamydial conjunctivitis, or swimming pool conjunctivitis. This disease affects four of 1,000 (0.4%) live births. Approximately half of the infants born to untreated infected mothers will develop the disease.
Causes and symptoms
Inclusion conjunctivitis in the newborn results from passage through an infected birth canal and develops 5-14 days after birth. Both eyelids and conjunctivae are swollen. There may be a discharge of pus from the eyes. Most instances of adult inclusion conjunctivitis result from exposure to infected genital secretions. It is transmitted to the eye by fingers and occasionally by the water in swimming pools, poorly chlorinated hot tubs, or by sharing makeup. In adult inclusion conjunctivitis, one eye is usually involved, with a stringy discharge of mucus and pus. There may be little bumps called follicles inside the lower eyelid and the eye is red. Occasionally, the condition damages the cornea, causing cloudy areas and a growth of new blood vessels (neovascularization).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye that covers the sclera ), often due to infection. There are three common varieties of conjunctivitis, viral allergic , and bacterial . Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are contagious. Blepharoconjunctivitis is the combination of conjunctivitis with eyelid inflammation.

Symptoms
Viral conjunctivitis , commonly known as pink eye , is often associated with an infection of the upper respiratory tract , a cold , or a sore throat . Its symptoms include watery discharge and the fact that the infection usually begins with one eye, but may spread easily to the fellow eye. Allergic conjunctivitis type occurs more frequently among those with allergic conditions, with the symptoms having a seasonal correlation. Allergic conjunctivitis can also be caused by allergies to substances such as cosmetics perfume , or drugs . It usually affects both eyes, and is accompanied by swollen eyelids.

Wat is conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis is de medische term voor ontstoken slijmvlies van de ogen. Het is de meest voorkomende oorzaak van een rood oog.
Het oogwit wordt bedekt door slijmvlies (conjunctiva) en dit bevat heel dunne bloedvaatjes. Bij irritatie zetten deze vaatjes op, waardoor het oog rood wordt. Oorzaken
De meest voorkomende oorzaak is een virus of een bacterie. Ook een allergie, het "droge ogen" syndroom of irriterende stoffen in de omgeving kunnen een rood oog veroorzaken. Verschijnselen
Het "droge ogen" syndroom geeft pijnlijke, rode slijmvliezen soms met lichtschuwheid en door de irritatie juist heftige tranenvloed. Irriterende stoffen geven voornamelijk sterke, waterige, afscheiding en eventueel daarna een rood oog. Diagnose
Door onderzoek kan de oogarts of de huisarts onderscheid maken tussen de verschillende vormen. Soms kan het ook nodig zijn een "kweek" te maken van de afscheiding uit het oog. Hiervoor wordt heel voorzichtig met een klein wattenstaafje langs het oogslijmvlies gestreken. Op deze manier kan worden vastgesteld welke bacterie of virus bestreden moet worden Behandeling
Bij een virale conjunctivitis hebben antibiotica geen effect. Soms is het nodig met ontstekingsremmende medicijnen te druppelen. Allergische conjunctivitis kan worden behandeld met speciale druppels die tegen een allergie in het oog gericht zijn. Het "

"Pink Eye" - Conjunctivitis
What is Conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis is one of the most common causes of a red, irritated eye, commonly called pink eye. It is usually caused by a virus similar to the one that causes the common cold; however, there are instances of conjunctivitis that are bacterial in origin. For this reason, it is not unusual to have the symptoms of a cold before, during, and after a bout of conjunctivitis.
How is Conjunctivitis Treated?
Just like a common cold, viral infections like conjunctivitis usually improve on their own, without treatment. Frequently, eye drops are prescribed to ease the symptoms.
On the other hand, bacterial conjunctivitis requires treatment with antibiotic eye drops to cure it. For this reason, it is important to seek the care of an eye doctor.
Conjunctivitis is Contagious
Viral infections are highly contagious. Just like the common cold, you can spread the virus causing conjunctivitis by coughing or sneezing. Sharing items that touch the eye, like makeup and towels, is another good way to spread the virus. Frequent hand washing and avoiding rubbing the eyes are good ways to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis
What is Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis?
For people who wear contact lenses, giant papillary conjunctivitis or GPC is a common cause of itchy and irritated eyes. It is thought to result from an allergic reaction to chemicals absorbed by the contact lens or microscopic deposits that have accumulated on the lens. One chemical that has been found to be associated with GPC is a preservative in many contact lens solutions called thimerosal. Irrigation of the underside of the eyelids has been found to aggravate the condition.
Symptoms of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis
Most often, the symptoms of GPC occur while the contact lenses are in place; however, they may persist after removal of the lens from the eye. Commonly, the symptoms are an itchy eye. Redness and irritation may be present. Many persons who are afflicted with GPC notice that their contact lenses seem to ride up on their eyes as though the eyelid were grabbing the lens with each blink.
Diagnosis of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis
Large bumps with red, inflamed tissue is usually visible on the underside of the upper eyelid in severe cases of GPC. Milder cases result in smaller bumps.

Overview Conjunctivitis may make you feel as if you've got something in one or both of your eyes that you just can't get out. When you wake up in the morning, your eyes may seem to be pasted shut from the discharge coming from your eyes. The whites of your eyes also may begin to look pinkish, and you may not see as clearly as you did before. In conjunctivitis, inflammation causes small blood vessels in the conjunctiva to become more prominent, resulting in a pinkish or reddish cast to the whites of your eyes. In fact

Primarily caused by infection or allergy, conjunctivitis, better known as "pink eye," is the most common form of eye irritation. It is an inflammation of the white of the eye and eyelid lining, or, technically, inflammation of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane that lines the inner eyelids and sheaths the globe of the eye. When the eye becomes irritated or infected, the tiny blood vessels dilate and turn red.
Symptoms
The eyes are red and swollen and seem to be filled with sand. Before you treat conjunctivitis, rule out other eye problems with similar symptoms, such as allergies, irritation from chemicals (especially chlorine in pools), and exposure to cigarette smoke and smog. Generally, mild cases of conjunctivitis should go away in several days without treatment; however, it may be uncomfortable, so the remedies discussed below should prove helpful.
Causes
• Overuse of nonprescription eyedrops used to soothe your eyes has recently been discovered as one of the triggers of conjunctivitis. Many over-the-counter eyedrops contain decongestants that help shrink swollen blood vessels in the eyes. Allergic reaction to these ingredients can trigger conjunctivitis. With continued use, you may experience a "rebound" effect, where your eyes will get redder and sorer - just the opposite of what you are trying to do. Look for an alternative without the decongestants, preferably saline drops, also known as "artificial tears."

Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctivae of the eye (the moist mucous membrane inside the the eyelids. There are a number of causes:
  • infection
    • bacterial - contagious; gets promptly better with antibiotic drops; especially likely if associated with a green snotty nose viral - contagious; doesn't get better with drops per se but will get better anyway; this can be the bad one that may last up to a couple of weeks and the child must be isolated from school during that time chlamydial - often in newborns, acquired by passage through the birth canal; can be associated with pnemonia in very young infants
    chemical - most often a pool chemical reaction allergic - itchy, watery eyes with distinctively pale, pebbly-appearing inner eyelids; nonsteroidal allergy drops are available and work well
The vast majority of cases of conjunctivitis with discharge in children can be treated the same way: give 'em some eyedrops, and they get better. Sometimes we culture the eye to get the name of the bug causing the infection, but generally only if something is unusual about the case. The expression "pink eye" is confusing. Most folks mean an eye that is pink and weepy; more precisely, "pink eye" refers to, as above, a specific type of viral conjunctivitis.

(Conjunctivitis)
What is "pink eye"?
Pink eye or conjunctivitis refers to a redness or irritation of the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids and the membranes (conjuctiva) covering the whites of the eyes. These membranes react to a wide range of bacteria, viruses, allergy- provoking agents, irritants, and toxic agents, as well as to underlying diseases within the body. Viral and bacterial forms of conjunctivitis are common in childhood. Overall however, there are many causes of pink eye. These can be classified as either infectious or noninfectious. What infections cause pink eye and how are they treated?
Viral Pink Eye

The leading cause of a red eye is virus infection. Viral pink eye is usually associated with more of a watery discharge, not green or yellow in color, and is frequently associated with viral "cold-like" symptoms. The eyelids may be swollen. Sometimes looking at bright lights is painful. While viral pink eye, may not require an antibiotic, the doctor should see the child, as occasionally this form of pink eye can be associated with infection of the cornea, (the clear portion of the front of the eyeball). This infection must be correctly detected and treated. Viral pink eye is highly contagious.

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.
