Coming soonBacterial conjunctivitis is an infectious inflammation of the ocular mucous membrane covering the sclera and lining the eyelids, occurring across both pediatric and adult populations.
It develops when bacterial pathogens—most frequently *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, *Haemophilus influenzae*, or *Moraxella catarrhalis*—overcome local host defenses to trigger ocular surface inflammation and microvascular dilation.
Clinically, it presents with marked conjunctival hyperemia, ocular irritation, and thick mucopurulent or purulent discharge that often causes morning eyelid adhesion.
While typically an acute and self-limiting condition, hyperacute presentations involving organisms such as *Neisseria gonorrhoeae* can rapidly progress to severe chemosis, corneal ulceration, and potential visual impairment if unchecked.
