Abstract:
The pink eye outbreak in 2023 was caused due to humid weather conditions in most regions of India. The most affected states include Delhi, Gujrat (21% cases), Maharashtra (30%), Himachal Pradesh (4%) and Karnataka (4%). The epidemiological data indicates that males have a high prevalence rate as compared to females; urban areas were most affected, and professionals as well as students were the population group that had the highest prevalence rate. The most common clinical manifestations were the presence of red eye, eye discharge, grittiness, and eyelashes being stuck together. One of the hallmarks of histopathology is a cobblestone formation of flattened nodules with central vascular centers. Conjunctivitis is a virusmediated immune response accompanied by inflammation, which proceeds the immune reaction, giving rise to vasodilation, pseudo membrane formation, and conjunctivital discharge. The gold standard for the diagnosis of Conjunctivitis is the Adenoplus kit using PCR technology; apart from this slit lamp biomicroscope can be used for the evaluation. It is the need of the hour to spread awareness about the Pink Eye disease and the measures to prevent it.
摘要:
2023年的红眼病爆发是由于印度大部分地区的潮湿天气条件造成的。受影响最大的州包括德里,古吉拉特(21%),马哈拉施特拉邦(30%)喜马al尔邦(4%)和卡纳塔克邦(4%)。流行病学数据表明,与女性相比,男性患病率高;城市地区受影响最大,专业人士和学生是患病率最高的人群。最常见的临床表现是红眼,眼部分泌物,砂砾,和睫毛粘在一起。组织病理学的标志之一是具有中央血管中心的扁平结节的鹅卵石形成。结膜炎是一种病毒介导的免疫反应,伴有炎症,进行免疫反应,引起血管舒张,假膜形成,和结膜放电。诊断结膜炎的金标准是使用PCR技术的Adenoplus试剂盒;除了这个裂隙灯生物显微镜可用于评估。需要一个小时来传播对粉红眼病的认识以及预防它的措施。
