Conjunctivitis
Aust Fam Physician.
1991 Jun.
Abstract
Most cases of conjunctivitis are either viral in origin, which makes them extremely contagious and usually self-limited, or bacterial, which usually requires topical antibiotic therapy. Prolonged follicular conjunctivitis should be considered chlamydial in origin and requires systematic antibiotic therapy.
