Neonatal conjunctivitis is defined as conjunctival inflammation occurring within the first 30 days of life. Numerous etiologies have been implicated including chemical conjunctivitis as well as viral and bacterial infections.
Neonatal conjunctivitis, also called ophthalmia neonatorum, typically presents during the first four weeks of life. The infection is usually acquired during delivery and is the most common ocular disease in neonates. Typical symptoms are persistent tearing and a mucoid discharge in the inner corner of the eye.
Symptoms of ophthalmia neonatorumredness.discharge (may be profuse in gonococcal infection)swelling of lids (may be severe)symptoms usually bilateral.
Neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum, ON), defined as conjunctival inflammation occurring within 28 days of birth, is commonly due to gonococcal or chlamydial infection acquired from the maternal genital tract at the time of delivery.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) in Newborns. Newborns with symptoms of conjunctivitis (pink eye) should see a doctor right away. Neonatal conjunctivitis is a red eye in a newborn caused by infection, irritation, or a blocked tear duct. When caused by an infection, neonatal conjunctivitis can be very serious.
Chlamydial conjunctivitis Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular parasite and has been identified as the most common infectious cause of neonatal conjunctivitis. The reservoir of the organism is the maternal cervix or urethra.
Like adults, babies and toddlers can get pink eye. Even newborns can get this very common eye condition. Pink eye — or conjunctivitis, the medical term for it — happens when the lining of the eye (the conjunctiva) gets irritated, infected, or inflamed. It's usually mild and goes away on its own.
Diagnosis of Neonatal Conjunctivitis Nucleic acid amplification tests may provide equivalent or better sensitivity for the detection of chlamydia from conjunctival material compared to older methods. Viral culture is done only if viral infection is suspected because of skin lesions or maternal infection.
Ophthalmia neonatorum (ON), also called neonatal conjunctivitis, is an acute, mucopurulent infection occurring in the first 4 weeks of life,2 affecting 1.6% to 12% of all newborns,3,4 caused by chemical, bacterial, or viral processes.
This infection is treated with oral erythromycin (50 mg/kg/d divided qid) for 14 days. Topical treatment alone is ineffective. Topical erythromycin ointment may be beneficial as an adjunctive therapy. Since the efficacy of systemic erythromycin therapy is approximately 80%, a second course sometimes is required.
Chlamydia is the most frequent identifiable infectious cause of ophthalmia neonatorum.
Chlamydial conjunctivitis Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular parasite and has been identified as the most common infectious cause of neonatal conjunctivitis. The reservoir of the organism is the maternal cervix or urethra.
If your little one's pink eyes are caused by an allergic reaction, your doctor may recommend antihistamine drops to relieve the symptoms. One way of easing the symptoms of your baby's conjunctivitis is to gently clean away any crusty deposits of discharge.
Like adults, babies and toddlers can get pink eye. Even newborns can get this very common eye condition. Pink eye — or conjunctivitis, the medical term for it — happens when the lining of the eye (the conjunctiva) gets irritated, infected, or inflamed. It's usually mild and goes away on its own.
In most cases, conjunctivitis is a mild illness that will go away on its own. However, it can be serious in a newborn baby if it is caused by a sexually transmitted infection. This can happen if the mother has an untreated sexually transmitted infection and the baby's eyes become infected when he is born.
The ICD code P391 is used to code Neonatal conjunctivitis. Neonatal conjunctivitis, also known as ophthalmia neonatorum, is a form of conjunctivitis and a type of neonatal infection contracted by newborns during delivery.

The baby's eyes are contaminated during passage through the birth canal from a mother infected with either Ne isseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis . Antibiotic ointment is typically applied to the newborn's eyes within 1 hour of birth as prevention against gonococcal ophthalmia.
