RAPIDLY DIAGNOSE ACUTE CONJUNCTIVITIS

RAPIDLY DIAGNOSE ACUTE CONJUNCTIVITIS

Conjunctivitis affects nearly 6.9 million Americans each year.1

In the United States, approximately 1 in 4 patients with acute conjunctivitis have confirmed Adenoviral conjunctivitis.2,3

Adenoviral conjunctivitis is associated with significant morbidity. Early, accurate diagnosis may prevent serious consequences.

Significant overlap exists in the clinical signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis; misdiagnosis by eye care professionals occurs in approximately 50% of conjunctivitis cases.4

RIGHT DIAGNOSIS

Early, accurate diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis may prevent serious consequences.

Adenovirus causes nearly 1 out of every 4 acute conjunctivitis cases and is often misdiagnosed2-4

Studies indicate eye care professionals misdiagnose approximately 50% of acute conjunctivitis cases, when using signs and symptoms alone4

AdenoPlus is the first and only rapid, point-of-care, CLIA-waived test that detects all serotypes known to typically cause Adenoviral conjunctivitis ? 90% sensitivity and 96% specificity6

RIGHT TREATMENT

Don't order antibiotics for Adenoviral conjunctivitis.7

The American Academy of Ophthalmology advises conjunctivitis treatment should be "...directed at the root cause. Indiscriminate use of topical antibiotics or corticosteroids should be avoided..."8

Adenoviral conjunctivitis is associated with significant morbidity, such as subepithelial infiltrates, chronic dry eye, symblepharon, and epiphora9,10

AdenoPlus can aid in the delivery of prompt, appropriate treatment, and effective management of contagious conjunctivitis patients
