  • Title: Diagnosing inclusion conjunctivitis.
    Author: Lampariello DA, Baylus SL.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1994 Dec; 65(12):827-34. PubMed ID: 7852700.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Diagnosing adult inclusion and neonatal conjunctivitis can be challenging. They are sexually transmitted diseases that can easily be managed without any serious ocular or systemic sequelae if recognized and treated early on. METHODS: A proper differential diagnosis and careful examination is essential in the management of chlamydial conjunctivitis. RESULTS: Two case reports of patients with laboratory-confirmed inclusion conjunctivitis will be presented. CONCLUSIONS: A careful history and ophthalmic evaluation, along with laboratory studies, which revealed inclusion bodies, confirmed the diagnosis of adult inclusion conjunctivitis. Therefore, proper treatment and management of each case occurred.
