Treatment of Neonatal Conjunctivitis

The diagnosis and treatment of chlamydial conjunctivitis

“…In these cases, a third course of antimicrobial treatment (oral trimethaprim-sulfamethoxazole combined with topical tetracycline) was given and cured each neonate [3]. Other studies have reported better treatment success rates [19]; but because of the risks of an inadequate response to treatment, patients should be reexamined after completing their course of antibiotics.…”

Neonatal Chlamydial Infections

“…[56] In a study of 19 infants with chlamydial conjunctivitis, treatment In some developed countries where the incidence of ON is very with topical chloramphenicol resulted in clinical and microbiolow and no longer a public health problem, a strategy of early logic failure in all; in contrast those who were treated with oral treatment of an infected neonate rather than routine prophylaxis erythromycin 25 mg/kg twice daily for 14 days were cured. [57] A has been adopted. [1] Thus, in the UK and in some European study of topical tetracycline for 4 weeks compared with topical countries where the prevalence of maternal gonococcal infection is tetracycline and oral erythromycin for 2 weeks for treatment of low, ocular prophylaxis is not routinely given.…”

Neonatal Chlamydial Conjunctivitis

“…In the present study all infants were microbiologically cured in the acute phase, as shown by the negative Ct cultures from all the specified sites. The therapeutic effect of oral erythromycin, in eradicating Cr in newborns in the acute phase of infection, has been shown in previous studies (8,9,10) reporting on infants who were cultured for Ct no longer than one or two weeks after the end of therapy. However, by following infants for almost one year, the present study shows that persistent asymptomatic Ct infection could be detected in four infants.…”
