Neonatal adenovirus infection is considered a rare and fatal disease. Three nonfatal neonatal adenovirus infections manifesting as conjunctivitis or conjunctivitis with other nonspecific symptoms are described. Adenovirus DNA was detected by PCR in eye swabs from two patients and in both cerebrospinal fluid and eye swabs in the third patient.

Allergic conjunctival diseases include allergic conjunctivitis and spring catarrh (vernal conjunctivitis). The immediate phase of the type I allergic reaction is the essence of the pathology and etiologic mechanism of allergic conjunctivitis, whereas the late phase of the type I allergic reaction is considered to be involved in those of spring catarrh. The use of anti-allergic eye drops is the ...

Conjunctivitis is a very common presentation to general practitioners and general paediatricians. The investigation of conjunctivitis can be a significant cost to microbiology laboratories due to the high volume of samples that can be submitted, particularly from patients in the community. The key issue is to send eye swabs in clinical situations where it can make a difference to management, an...

Medical image processing using MATLAB is used in medical field. The recently many technologies are used for the diagnosis of eye diseases like conjunctivitis to observe infection on eye. This paper Digital image processing (DIP) is applied for manual judgment by doctors to get better & fast result. The diagnosis of “Intensity of redness of pink Eye” i.e. “Conjunctivitis”; by identifying the reg...

Previously, we showed that ethanol increases synaptic glycine currents, an effect that depends on ethanol concentration and developmental age of the preparation. Glycine receptor (GlyR) subunits undergo a shift from alpha2/beta to alpha1/beta from neonate to juvenile ages, with synaptic glycine currents from neonate hypoglossal motoneurons (HMs) being less sensitive to ethanol than those from j...

Abstract Bacterial conjunctivitis characterized as pink eye referred as an inflammation of an eye caused by the enlargement of blood vessels present in conjunctiva, resulting in a red or bloodshot appearance of the eyes. Topical ocular delivery is found to be useful in treating conjunctivitis, but to maintain an effective drug concentration at a site of action in order to achieve desired pha...

OBJECTIVE To clinically analyze 400 cases of red eye attending Nepal Eye Hospital in August/ September 2003 and to study the aetiology of the disease on the clinical basis with available laboratory resources. MATERIALS AND METHODS It is a prospective study of 400 cases of acute conjunctivitis visiting Nepal Eye Hospital during the epidemic of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis in August/Septem...

The clinical term “red eye” is used to describe a variety of distinct ocular diseases that can be infectious or noninfectious in etiology. Conjunctivitis (an inflammation of the conjunctiva) is the most common cause of red eye, accounting for 2% of ambulatory care visits [1]. The inflammation involves the lids and the bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva and is usually readily apparent on physical ...

An 18 year old man was seen at a Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) clinic for counselling and treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection which had been diagnosed during a screening survey of high school students. For two months he had reported conjunctival hyperaemia, increased tearing, itching, and mucopurulent secretions, predominantly on the left eye. His ophthalmologist had m...

The authors evaluated and compared the efficacies of eye drops and in situ forming gel of pefloxacin mesylate in pseudomonas induced conjunctivitis in 40 rabbits. The in-situ forming gel of pefloxacin mesylate was formulated as a liquid and when administered in the cul-de-sac, it gets converted to gel. The objective of the present research work was to demonstrate the in vivo activity of in situ...
