    Extractions: CONJUNCTIVITIS Conjunctiva is a thin transparent membrane that lines the eyeball and eyelid. Inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva leads to conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis appears as a pink eye with discharge and itching in the eye. The most common cause of conjunctivitis is a viral infection. Other causes of conjunctivitis are a bacterial infection, allergic reactions and opthalmia neonatorum (conjunctivitis seen in the newborns). Bacterial conjunctivitis :- It is seen as a pink eye. It affects both the eyes usually and leads to thick discharge of mucus from both the eyes. Viral conjunctivitis : - Is a limited condition. It usually affects one eye and causes excessive tearing. The discharge is usually mild.

    Extractions: Conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis, which is basically inflamation of the white of the eye can be cause by bacteria or anything which can cause an allergic reaction. It can also be caused by a blocked tear duct. As guinea pigs are so low to the ground it is important that whatever bedding they are on it is dust free. This is why sawdust or shavings are a no no, and in saying this I am going against what I stated in my 'Proper care of guinea pigs.' I can only say that eight years on I am older and wiser!. The symptoms can be redness, discharge, and nearly always irritation which is usually made worseby the guinea pig scratching. First check to make sure there is no foreign body, see Eye injury, the hay husk is the most likely, then treat as follows. Towel wrap the guinea pig and lay it on it's side. Flush out the eye with Optrex eye wash a couple of times. I always use the small dropperbottles which make it easier to administer the wash. Follow this up by puttinga small dab of Brolene eye oinment in. This usually stops the irritation and consequently, the guinea pig from continuing to scratch. Any ailment of the eye has to be carefully monitored and if an improvement is not seen within twenty four hours, or it becomes more inflamed then it is almost certainly to be a bacterial infection and a visit to a vet will be necessary for it will need an antibiotic, something like Chlormycetin. This seldom fails to succeed.

    http://www.preventblindness.org/children/ConjunctivitisFAQ.html
    
    Extractions: 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. Conjunctivitis happens when the conjunctiva becomes infected, usually by a virus or bacteria. It also can be caused by allergic reactions or chemical irritations. 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?

    http://www.cockatiels.org/articles/Diseases/conjunctivitis.html
    
    Extractions: The light pink tissue that lies between the eye lid and the eye itself is known as the conjunctiva. Under normal circumstances, this tissue is not visible unless the eye lid is moved out of the way, upward for the upper lids or downward for the lower lids. If the conjunctiva is swollen and visible while looking at the bird in its cage or flight, the condition is referred to as conjunctivitis. The cause of conjunctivitis in cockatiels has created much debate over the last several years. The exact cause of this disease has yet to be determined in all cases. Organisms postulated to be the cause of the disease have included Gram Negative bacteria, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and viruses. Attempts at isolating mycoplasma or viral agents have been very inconsistent. Chlamydial organisms, the Psittacosis disease agent, have been implicated in a back-handed manner. Many veterinarians have successfully treated this disease by using the drugs to treat Psittacosis. Definitive diagnosis through culture or necropsy has been hit or miss, though. Dr. Louise Bauck addressed this issue at the 1989 Association of Avian Veterinarians Annual Convention. Her attempts at diagnosis were similar in a controlled study of approximately 1,000 cockatiels. Resolution of the conjunctivitis occurs quicker when the birds are treated with tetracycline opthalmic ointment than with other opthalmic ointments. Prevention of a carrier status or full-blown Psittacosis can be attained by treating the affected birds and others in contact with these birds for Psittacosis.

    Extractions: What is Conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis, better known as Pink Eye, is the medical term that describes an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the white of your eyes. This membrane produces mucus to coat and lubricate the surface of the eye. Upon close inspection, you can see fine blood vessels within this membrane. When the conjunctiva becomes irritated, the blood vessels enlarge making the eye appear red in colour. Causes and symptoms Conjunctivitis can be caused by a number of things, but the most common are viral and bacterial infections, allergies or environmental irritants. Infection conjunctivitis-whether viral or bacterial-can be quite contagious, so contact with the infected person's tears through handkerchiefs and towels should be avoided. Hand washing after contact will also prevent the spread. The signs are usually quite obvious: red, irritated eye; a burning or scratchy feeling; or, a pus-like discharge. There are several eye diseases which also produce what might be confused with "pink eye", so a medical evaluation with an ophthalmologist-a medically trained eye specialist-is always a good idea. This is particularly true if pain, blurred vision or severe light sensitivity are also present as these are not normally associated with conjunctivitis.

    Extractions: What is conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis means inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the thin 'skin' that covers the white part of the eyes and the inside of the eyelids. Infection is the common cause of conjunctivitis. (Allergy is the other common cause of conjunctivitis.) What causes infective conjunctivitis? Many viruses and bacteria can cause conjunctivitis. Most bouts of infective conjunctivitis are not serious, and soon clear. However, sometimes conjunctivitis can be more serious if the infection is caused by herpes viruses, or by a bug called chlamydia. What are the symptoms of infective conjunctivitis? Typical symptoms. One eye may be infected, but it usually spreads to both eyes. The eyes may feel gritty and water more than usual. Some soreness may develop, but it is not usually very painful. Vision is not normally affected. The eyes look inflamed, and red or pink. The eyelids may become swollen, and are often stuck together with gluey material after a sleep. Less commonly some uncommon infections can be more serious. For example, with herpes or chlamydia infections the symptoms tend to be more severe and last longer.

    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol3no1/fischer2.htm
    
    Extractions: Dispatches Download Article A new mycoplasmal conjunctivitis was first reported in wild house finches ( Carpodacus mexicanus ) in early 1994. The causative agent was identified as Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), a nonzoonotic pathogen of poultry that had not been associated with disease in wild songbirds. Since the initial observations of affected house finches in the mid-Atlantic region, the disease has become widespread and has been reported throughout the eastern United States and Canada. By late 1995, mycoplasmal conjunctivitis had spread to an additional species, the American goldfinch ( Carduelis tristis ). This new disease exemplifies the rapid spread of a pathogen following introduction into a mobile wildlife population and provides lessons that may apply to emerging human diseases. In February 1994, house finches with swollen or crusty eyelids and impaired vision were observed at backyard bird feeders in suburban Washington, D.C. ( ). Severely affected birds

    http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5110a1.htm
    
    Extractions: During February 114, 2002,approximately 100 students presented to a New Hampshire college's student health service with clinical signs of conjunctivitis ( Figure 1 ). The cause of conjunctivitis was initially thought to be viral. However, because of the high number of cases, eye cultures were collected from 12 consecutive students; Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from cultures of all 12 students. The medical director of the student health service notified the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services about the outbreak and on February 22, the state health department requested assistance from CDC. This report summarizes preliminary results of the investigation of this outbreak, which indicate that an uncommon strain of pneumococcus caused this outbreak and that health-care providers should consider pneumococcus as a cause of conjunctivitis among college students. Students at the college are entitled to medical care at the student health service, and school officials estimate that approximately 95% of students use the health service for nonemergency health care. Discharge diagnoses of visits to the student health center were reviewed to identify episodes of conjunctivitis. A case of probable pneumococcal conjunctivitis was defined as a diagnosis of conjunctivitis-unspecified ( International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision
