Bacterial conjunctivitis is characterized by purulent secretions in addition to conjunctivitis inflammation signs (hurtless reddening-eye). Bacterial conjunctivitis is also contagious and

requires strict hygiene measures:

-Wash your hands before and after you touched your eyes, put antiseptic eye-drops or other wash solution

-Clean abundantly

-Avoid contact with children or eye-sensitive person

The doctor may use antiseptic or antibiotic eye-drops which contribute to eliminate the

bacteria responsible for the infection.

New-borns might contract some forms of conjunctivitis during labour. This pathology needs a specific care in an adapted environment. Conjunctivitis are common in children but evolves quickly after antiseptic or antibiological treatments.
