Ophthalmia neonatorum
Pediatr Clin North Am.
1983 Dec.
Abstract
Although many types of conjunctival infections in neonates are relatively inconsequential, chlamydial, gonococcal, and herpes simplex infections can cause permanent ocular damage and serious systemic complications. These specific causes are discussed along with silver nitrate conjunctivitis, staphylococcal infections, and nasolacrimal duct obstructions.
