Conjunctivitis (commonly called "pink eye" or "Madras eye"[1]) is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), most commonly due to an allergic reaction or an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial[2])

Conjunctivitis is most commonly caused by viral infection, often Adenovirus. Bacterial infections also occur, and both bacterial and viral infections are contagious. Viral conjunctivitis does not usually require treatment (the rare exception being herpes conjunctivitis, which requires acyclovir), and prevention of spread is important. Bacterial conjunctivitis can be treated with topical antibiotics. Conjunctivitis can also be caused by allergic reactions, eye irritants, and dry eyes.

A purulent discharge (a whitish-yellow, yellow or yellow-brown substance more commonly known as pus) strongly suggests bacterial cause, unless there is known exposure to toxins. Pink eye can also be caused by bacteria from feces, pet hair, or by smoke or other fumes. Infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae should be suspected if the discharge is particularly thick and copious.

Rasanya...Cikma n Dr. Arif kena jangkitan Bakteria...sebab mata kitorang memang byk kuar a whitish-yellow substance/ pus .....huhuhuhu.....


Bacterial conjunctivitis usually resolves with no treatment. Treatment with antibiotic eye drops or ointments (such as chloramphenicol or fusidic acid) does however speed recovery. Gentamicin and Vigamox, (moxifloxacin) are commonly used in the U.S.[4] Evidence suggests there is a modest reduction in duration from an average of 4.625 days (untreated controls) to 3.3 days for those given immediate antibiotics. Deferring antibiotics yields almost the same duration as those immediately starting treatment with 3.9 days duration, but with half the two-week clinic reattendance rate.[5]
