Conjunctivitis is the most common eye disease in the western hemisphere and varies in severity from mild inflammation with tearing to a severe inflammation that causes tissue injury and tissue death. It is usually caused by allergies, bacteria, viruses, or chemicals. Bacterial conjunctivitis presents with a red eye, pus discharge, a gritty sensation, and occasionally sticking shut of the eyelids. Viral conjunctivitis follows an upper respiratory infection such as the common cold. Allergic Conjunctivitis nearly always presents with a primary complaint of itching. red eyes, and other allergic symptoms such as rhinitis (stuffy, runny nose), "scratchy" throat, and dry, hacking cough are commonly present. Viral and bacterial forms of conjunctivitis are highly contagious, and can spread among children very rapidly, sometimes causing local epidemics.

Conjunctivitis, sometimes called “pink eye,” is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane lining the eyelids and covering most of the exposed surface of the eyeball. The inflammation may be caused by many things, including an irritation from contact lenses or a chemical, an allergy, a viral infection, or a bacterial infection. Conjunctivitis is the most common eye problem that the Rutgers Student Health Service staff treats. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The symptoms of conjunctivitis vary depending on what has caused the infection, but generally there is reddening and irritation, and frequently a discharge from one or both of the eyes. If the infection is bacterial in nature, the discharge is often thick and heavy. This may cause the eyelids to become crusted-over and, upon awakening, difficulty in opening the eye or eyes may be experienced. If the infection is viral in nature, the eyes appear red and the discharge is usually watery and thin.

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of this membrane. It can become swollen and reddened often making it more visible. Conjunctivitis can affect one or both eyes. How can I tell if my cat has conjunctivitis? Cats with conjunctivitis tend to have a discharge from their eye(s) which can be clear and watery or thick with a pus like appearance.

Travel Health Advisory Conjunctivitis Activity Health Canada is monitoring global conjunctivitis activity in the Americas (Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Cuba). Source Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) , the Epidemiological Bulletin of Mexico and Canadian Embassy in Cuba Numerous epidemics have previously been documented worldwide including in Central and South America, Florida, Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, Caribbean and India. Conjunctivitis refers to any inflammatory condition of the membrane lining the eyelids. It is a common disease, occurring in all age groups throughout the world. There are several types of conjunctivitis. The non-infectious form may be caused by a reaction to contact lens use, a toxic or chemical reaction, dry eyes or allergies. The infectious form can be caused by either bacteria or a virus. It is usually a mild, self limiting disease, characterized by a quick onset of swelling, redness and pain around the eyes. Bacterial conjunctivitis is characterized by acute onset, minimal pain, occasional itchiness, and sometimes an exposure history with an incubation period of 24-72 hours. Treatment may include antibiotic drops or ointment for the eyes. Many different bacteria can cause conjunctivitis but the most common are

HERPES VIRAL CONJUNCTIVITIS A FELINE PROBLEM The conjunctival membranes of the eye are basically the “pink part” under the eyelids and the lining of the eyelids themselves. When they are irritated, they redden and can become itchy, dry, and uncomfortable. The cornea, or clear dome-like covering of the eye can become involved in the inflammation. It can become cloudy or even ulcerated. Tear production can be reduced leading to a chronic dry, uncomfortable eye. Conjunctivitis in cats is usually of viral origin and usually that means a Herpesvirus (Feline herpesvirus-1 to be specific). Herpesvirus grow in the tissues of the body that interface with the environment, such as the upper respiratory tissues and conjunctivae. The infection begins with an initial phase which is usually the most severe in terms of symptoms. This phase resolves but the virus itself does not go away; instead, it retreats into the Trigeminal Ganglion (a neurologic structure in the head) where the patient’s immune system holds it prisoner. In times of stress, the immune system is taxed and the virus is able to escape from the ganglion, traveling out via the nerves exiting the ganglion and leading to return of symptoms. BABY KITTENS: A SPECIAL SITUATION Herpes infection is extremely common in young kittens especially those facing other stresses (fleas, poor nutrition, environmental cold etc.). Feral kittens, waifs of the streets, outdoor kittens, shelter kittens etc. are all high risk for Herpes infection. Young kittens can produce so much ocular discharge that their eyes gum closed sealing the infected secretions around the eye. It is important that the eyelids be opened manually to allow drainage of secretions as well as application of medicine. The swelling of the conjunctivae can be so severe that the eye itself is not visible.

PINK-EYE Pink-eye is the lay term for acute follicular conjunctivitis. This condition occurs in small epidemics and was once known as "dockyard workers conjunctivitis", when it was described amongst workmen during the Second World War. Acute follicular conjunctivitis is commonly caused by an adenovirus. The key finding is that of follicles, small bumps in the reddened conjunctiva, seen when the lower lid is pulled down, and the palpebral conjunctiva examined. Although this condition is bilateral, the follicles and symptoms are often more prominent on one side. Acute follicular conjunctivitis follows the so-called "rule of eights", eight day incubation period, eight days maximum symptoms and eight days to resolution. It takes a full month to go away. The use of topical antibiotics is not indicated if the condition is strictly viral (as indicated by the follicles). Topical antibiotics may often cause a secondary allergic reaction (conjunctivitis medicamentosa) complicating the picture and prolonging the patient's complaints. Presevative free artificial tears (e.g. Refresh) and hot compresses are indicated for symptomatic relief. The presence of copious amounts of pus is more indicative of a bacterial conjunctivitis This may be treated by broad spectrum antibiotics such as Polytrim (polymixin B sulfate and trimethoprim sulfate), gentamicin 0.3%, and tobramycin 0.3%. These will give good coverage of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The aminoglycosides (gentamicin and tobramycin) have weak activity against Staphylococcal species and there are also resistant strains of Pseudomonas. Fluoroquinolones are also good options.

Allergic Conjunctivitis The hallmark symptom of allergic conjunctivitis is itching. Allergic conjunctivitis can be seen throughout the year but is more common in the spring and summer when plants are flowering and pollinating. Besides itching , additional symptoms include tearing , puffy eyelids , and mild redness ( conjunctival injection ) . Many foreign substances are capable of inducing allergies . Common allergens include pollens , animal danders , house dust , molds , and cigarette smoke . The human immune system gone awry is responsible for allergies . A particular subclass of antibodies (immunoglobulin ) called IgE is generated in response to individual allergens . Unique IgE protein molecules are produced - each with the capability to specifically recognize different individual allergens . In turn , the antibodies coat the surface of a type of immune cell called a ' mast cell ' , which is filled with a number of allergy-inducing substances , including histamine . When foreign allergens come in contact with an IgE -sensitized mast cell , the mast cell responds by releasing histamine and other allergy-inducing signals . Treatment for allergic conjunctivitis includes : trying to avoid the allergy-inducing substances in the environment - if possible , cold compresses to the eyelids which provides some symptom relief , refrigerated artificial tears which wash the allergy substances out of the tear film , and a number of topical eyedrops - some of which are over-the-counter and some of which are available by prescription from your EyeMD/ophthalmologist , including steroids , antihistamines , and so-called ' mast cell stabilizing ' agents . Sometimes , a trip to an allergist may be necessary for allergy de-sensitization injections .

Pinkeye (Conjunctivitis) in the Child Care Setting The ABC's of Safe and Healthy Child Care advertisement The ABC's of Safe and Healthy Child Care Forums Health, Safety, Nutrition and Kids KidSource Store Mayo Clinic Family Health Book by American Academy of Pediatrics Advertisement Pinkeye, also called conjunctivitis, can be caused by bacterial or viral infections or by allergic reactions to dust, pollen, and other materials. Bacterial and viral infections usually produce a white or yellowish pus that may cause the eyelids to stick shut in the morning. The discharge in allergic conjunctivitis is often clear and watery. All types involve redness and burning or itching eyes. Pinkeye in child care settings is most often due to bacterial or viral infections. It can usually be treated with antibiotics. Red and sore eyes may be part of viral respiratory infections, including measles. The germs that cause conjunctivitis may be present in nasal secretions, as well as in the discharge from the eyes. Persons can become infected when their hands become contaminated with these materials and they rub their eyes. Eyes can also become infected when a person uses contaminated towels or eye makeup. If a child in your facility develops pinkeye: Contact the child's parents and ask them to have the child seen by the doctor. Eye injuries and foreign bodies in the eye can cause similar symptoms.
