Overview
Inflammation occurs in the translucent membrane (conjunctiva) that connects the eyes to the back of the upper and lower eyelids.Conjunctiva has many thin blood vessels and lymphatic tissue (the tissue that causes the immune response), and because of its viscous membrane, it is easy to come into contact with various substances, including pathogens and allergens, which can easily cause infectious inflammation.When inflammation occurs, white eyes become bloodshot, making eye mucus and tears more likely to come out.Conjunctivitis includes allergic conjunctivitis (spring catarrh), viral conjunctivitis, and bacterial conjunctivitis, and dry conjunctivitis (dry eyes) caused by dry membranes.In the case of infectious conjunctivitis, the infection may spread to the other eye or to other people′s eyes.cause
Allergic conjunctivitis occurs when allergens such as pollen come into contact with the eyes, and a serious case is called spring catarrh.Allergic conjunctivitis, which is common throughout the year, includes house dust and animal hair.Viruses are the most common cause of infectious conjunctivitis.Viral conjunctivitis includes epidemic conjunctivitis caused by adenovirus, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis caused by infection with enterovirus, and herpes conjunctivitis caused by herpes virus.Other viruses that cause systemic symptoms such as measles, rubella and chickenpox can also irritate the eyes and cause inflammation.In the case of bacterial conjunctivitis, staphylococcus aureus or the like is the main cause, and inclusion body conjunctivitis caused by chlamydia is also included.In rare cases, conjunctivitis is caused by fungi.Dry conjunctivitis (dry eyes) is caused by dry eyes.symptom
Conjunctiva covering the back of the eyelid and the surface of the white eye becomes bloodshot and inflamed, causing a lot of eye mucus, pain, and excessive secretion of tears.In addition, allergic or viral conditions can cause severe pain, and viral conjunctivitis can cause swollen lymph nodes under the eyelids and ears.Bacterial conjunctivitis is characterized by a large amount of yellowish eye mucus.If the cornea becomes more severe and turbid, there is a risk of visual impairment.Enclosed conjunctivitis causes swelling of the eyelids and developing follicles on the back.Herpes conjunctivitis is a blister around the eyes.In some cases, so-called blisters occur.examination and diagnosis
It is diagnosed by questioning and visual examination.In addition, if allergic conjunctivitis is suspected, a blood test is conducted to check if there is an allergic reaction.If there is a possibility of epidemic conjunctivitis, test for viral infection with a kit to detect adenovirus.For inclusion conjunctivitis, a venereal disease test is performed to determine the infection of chlamydia.There is also an ocular fat test to examine eye mucus.In the case of severe viral conjunctivitis or bacterial conjunctivitis, visual acuity was measured as irritation to the cornea may cause visual acuity loss.In some cases, a microscopic examination is conducted to determine the degree of inflammation, or a microorganism that identifies the cause by cultivating secretions.treatment
Eye drops (anti-inflammatory drugs) to suppress inflammation and eye drops (antibacterial drugs) to prevent secondary infection are used as the main treatments.It is also important to keep your eyes clean, such as using a clean towel when washing your face.In the case of allergic conjunctivitis, steroid eye drops suppressing allergic symptoms and anti-allergic drugs in internal medicine are used together as the treatment methods for each type.Currently, there is no specific medicine for viral conjunctivitis caused by adenovirus, and we will observe the situation while applying anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs until antibodies to the virus are made in the body.Natural healing takes two to three weeks.If you have a rash on your eyelid, apply anti-viral ointment.For herpes conjunctivitis, anti-herpes softener is used.For bacterial conjunctivitis, eye drops containing antibiotics are used.When severe symptoms such as turbidity of the cornea are observed, softening or internal medicine may be used.precautions after prevention/treatment
Because viral conjunctivitis and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly infectious, secondary infections are also important.It is important to wash your hands thoroughly and use disposable tissues when wiping around your eyes so that it doesn′t spread around you.Epidemic conjunctivitis can infect others for one to two weeks.Viral conjunctivitis is a school epidemic that is prohibited from going to school, so you have to rest until your doctor permits it.It is desirable to take as much time off from work as possible.
