Abstract

Bacterial conjunctivitis is an eye illness with inflammatory conjunctiva conditions. Neonatorum conjunctivitis was first discovered in 1750 by Quellmaz. In this article, an effective systematic study intends to provide an overview of etiology, prevalence, types with their treatments, diagnosis, and complications that are associated with bacterial conjunctivitis. The researchers have searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and other significant medical journal databases. The systematic review conducted on bacterial conjunctivitis yielded some significant findings and recommendations for future research. The review highlights the significance of comprehending the causes and occurrence of bacterial conjunctivitis. Future studies should prioritize the investigation of developing trends in bacterial strains that cause conjunctivitis, as well as the assessment of variations in prevalence among different populations and geographical regions. The systematic investigation classifies bacterial conjunctivitis into hyper acute, acute, and chronic forms depending on the severity of the symptoms, as well as subtypes such as purulent and mucopurulent conjunctivitis. This review conclude that bacterial conjectivitis can be cured by using antibiotic while extensive use of systemic antibiotics has induced maximal resistance in bacteria that cause ocular infections like conjunctivitis, keratitis, and other related eye illnesses.
