Povidone Iodine for the Treatment of Adenoviral Conjunctivitis [PDF]

open access: yesAustralasian journal of optometry, The, 2021
Adenoviral conjunctivitis is the most common cause of ocular viral infection in the world, but currently has no approved therapeutic treatments. The antiseptic povidone-iodine (PVP-I) has been used as an off-label treatment for the condition, but high-quality evidence for its use is limited.

Case for conservative management of adenoviral pseudomembranous conjunctivitis

BMJ Case Reports, 2023
The clinical course of adenoviral pseudomembranous conjunctivitis is mostly self-limiting and requires only supportive management measures; however, a minority of patients may develop severe inflammation in response to the virus, which can present as subepithelial infiltrates and pseudomembranes.

Cost Effectiveness of a Point-of-Care Test for Adenoviral Conjunctivitis

American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2008
Conjunctivitis is a relatively common condition of the eye that can be caused by a number of different pathogens including bacteria and viruses. Clinical differentiation between adenoviral and bacterial conjunctivitis is difficult, often resulting in misdiagnosis and the provision of inappropriate treatment.A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed ...

Clinical Features of Adenoviral Conjunctivitis at the Early Stage of Infection

Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
Because adenoviral conjunctivitis is a contagious disease, prompt and accurate diagnosis in the early stage of infection is necessary to prevent epidemics. We evaluated and compared the clinical features of adenoviral conjunctivitis at the first medical examination with those of nonadenoviral follicular conjunctivitis.The clinical features of 102 ...

Interferon Treatment of Adenoviral Conjunctivitis

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1984
We conducted a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of topical interferon in the treatment of adenoviral conjunctivitis. The study was designed to determine the efficacy of plasmid-derived alpha-2 interferon treatment with regard to the duration of clinical disease, virus shedding, and the occurrence of bilateral
