Abstract:Background
Acute infectious conjunctivitis (AIC) is a common pediatric infection affecting one in eight children annually. The etiology of AIC is poorly understood but important to inform treatment and return to school recommendations. Additionally, the association of bacteria isolated from the conjunctiva with the development of clinical AIC is not well defined. We aimed to determine the bacterial and viral causes of AIC in children.
