Common childhood bacterial infections
2011, Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health CareCitation Excerpt :Ophthalmic aminoglycosides (gentamicin, tobramycin, and neomycin) are effective against Gram-negative organisms but have limited efficacy against Gram-positive organisms, especially S aureus (particularly MRSA) and streptococci.62 Allergic and toxic reactions (superficial punctuate lesions) have occurred with ophthalmic aminoglycosides.65-67 Ophthalmic fluoroquinolones provide broad-spectrum coverage against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, are bactericidal, and are well tolerated.
Clinical Features of Bacterial Conjunctivitis in Children
2007, Academic Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Even though most cases of bacterial conjunctivitis are self-limited, it can take up to three weeks for the infection to clear. Treatment of acute conjunctivitis helps to shorten the clinical course, reduces spread of the contagion and discomfort, and allows the patient to resume activities earlier.5 The etiology is difficult to delineate on clinical grounds alone, and there is much pressure on physicians to prescribe antibiotics due to the social impact the diagnosis holds.
