  • Title: [Diagnosis and treatment of conjuncitivitis].
    Author: Ehlers N, Mabeck CE.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1996 Jan 01; 158(1):34-7. PubMed ID: 8560621.
    Abstract:
    Conjunctivitis is a frequent reason for consulting a doctor. Most often treatment consist of antibiotics, even though sensitive bacteria are only rarely demonstrated. In our part of the world conjunctivitis is self-limiting, and it may be worth considering the effect of treatment, if any. With this in mind, diagnosis and differential diagnoses are reviewed, and with regard to treatment distinctions are made between neonatal conjunctivitis (gonococcus, chlamydia, virus), conjunctivitis in children (symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections), and conjunctivitis in adults and the elderly (dry eyes, epiphora in ectropion).
