“…Practice standards for the initial treatment of hordeola are conservative, typically limited to the application of warm compresses several times a day, if any treatment is recommended at all (Barza 1983; Fuchs 1911; Olson 1991; Panicharoen 2011; Sethuraman 2009; Wilkie 1956). A topical antibiotic may be prescribed in conjunction with warm compresses (Diegel 1986; Lebensohn 1950; Lederman 1999; Panicharoen 2011; Wald 2004).…”

Aim:The parent of xGraptoveria, Graptopetalum paraguayense, is used in Chinese folk medicine for alleviating hepatic disorders, detumescence and detoxication, lowering of blood pressure, inhibition of cancer cells, exerting diuretic effects, relieving pain and infections. No data are available regarding its anti-conjunctivitis effect. The aim of this preliminary study is to test the anti-conjunctivitis properties of xGraptoveria (Crassulaceae) and to identify its bioactive constituents.Materials and Methods:Fresh watery juice of leaves of xGraptoveria was extracted with n-butanol and the extract was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The ethnobotanical appraisal of the anti-conjunctivitis properties of xGraptoveria was based on 11 interviews about the symptoms against which this plant demonstrated positive effect.Results:Fresh juice of xGraptoveria leaves applied directly to the irritated eye 2 times per day cured conjunctivitis in all reported cases. The main groups of organic compounds identified by GC/MS analysis in the fresh extracted leaf juice of xGraptoveria were: Alkylamines, hydroxycarboxylic acids, aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids, amino acids, alcohols, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.Conclusion:In this preliminary study, it is suggested that xGraptoveria exerts anti-conjunctivitis activity, through synergistic effect of different chemical compounds, most probably alkylamines and mainly hydroxycarboxylic, aliphatic, and aromatic carboxylic acids.

“…CVA24 is one of the principal pathogens causing acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) [2,3]. This disease is characterized by the sudden onset of ocular pain, swelling of the eyelids, a foreign-body sensation or irritation, epiphora (excessive tearing), eye discharge, and photophobia [4,5]. These symptoms commence after a 12-48 h incubation period post-infection, and clinical signs usually disappear in 1-2 weeks [5].…”

“…These symptoms commence after a 12-48 h incubation period post-infection, and clinical signs usually disappear in 1-2 weeks [5]. The disease is highly infective, occurs worldwide [6][7][8][9], and can be epidemic [4,10]. However, treatment of AHC is limited to supportive therapy with artificial tears, cold compresses, and topical This article was presented as a poster at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting, May 2-6, 2010; Fort Lauderdale, Florida.…”
