Abstract
The features of the clinic and treatment of patients with adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis were studied on the example of 112 patients aged 19- 57 years
Highlights
Adenovirus infection is an acute respiratory disease in which there is intoxication syndrome, inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes, pathological processes of the upper respiratory tract (URT), follicular conjunctivitis
In one third of cases, patients received treatment courses, and sometimes with unreasonable massive prescription of hormonal and antibacterial drugs, which caused the severity of the clinical picture of the disease, the development of toxic-allergic reactions and extended the time for further treatment
The results of diagnostics using the PRS Adeno Detector immunochromatographic method showed the following results: Considering the early period of treatment of patients with acute conjunctivitis, the adenovirus antigen was detected in 103 patients from the studied patients, i.e. at 92% of patients
Summary
Adenovirus infection is an acute respiratory disease in which there is intoxication syndrome, inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes, pathological processes of the upper respiratory tract (URT), follicular conjunctivitis. It is characterized by epidemic outbreaks, which can lead to significant economic losses, including due to temporary disability of patients, and in some cases cause a persistent decrease in visual acuity. The search for simple methods of treating this disease which are available for use in primary ophthalmological services, the use of rapid methods for diagnosing adenoviral conjunctivitis at the earliest stages of the development of the disease and preventing possible complications remains relevant
