Because antimicrobial cultures take time and are not always accurate, the diagnosis and treatment of conjunctivitis are often based on the physician’s knowledge regarding the current literature on likely pathogens and clinical experience. Therefore, pediatricians must be aware of the clinical signs and symptoms that can provide a differential diagnosis of conjunctivitis, so that it can be properly treated.
