Abstract
The management of acute conjunctivitis need not be confusing. In the newborn period the common etiologic agents are chemical, TRIC, and bacterial. The latter two causes are effectively treated with sulfacetamide ophthalmic preparations. Dacryostenosis should be suspected in any child with recurrent conjunctivitis in the first six months of life. With older children the major causes can be classified as viral, allergic, foreign bodies, and bacterial. Bacterial conjunctivitis almost always responds to sulfacetamide ophthalmic preparations.
