nEWS FROM THE CLINIC C

onjunctivitis is an eye condition that may also be referred to as pink eye. It is an infection of the conjunctiva, which is the clear membrane that covers the eyelid and partially covers the eyeball. Conjunctivitis is often caused by a bacterial or viral infection; however, it may also be caused by an allergic reaction to some substance. It can be hard to tell whether the infection is caused by a virus or bacteria. In general, the discharge associated with viral conjunctivitis is watery, whereas it will be thicker and more pus-like when the infection is caused by bacteria.

When you wake up in the morning, your eyelids may be stuck together. Itchiness and tearing are common with allergic conjunctivitis. A physician can help determine the cause of the infection and prescribe proper treatment.

How Long Is Conjunctivitis Contagious?

Conjunctivitis that’s caused by bacteria is contagious as soon as symptoms appear and remains so as long as there is a discharge from the eye — or until 24 hours after antibiotics are started. Conjunctivitis that’s caused by a virus is generally contagious before symptoms appear and can remain so as long as the symptoms last.

Allergic and irritant conjunctivitis are not contagious.

Can I Prevent It? Because infectious conjunctivitis is highly contagious, wash your hands after interacting with anyone who has the infection.

If you have conjunctivitis, it’s important to wash your hands often, especially after touching your eyes. The infection can easily spread from one eye to the other on contaminated hands or tissues.

It is school policy that any student or staff member that has conjunctivitis is sent home. They can return to school once that have started treatment or they have a doctors’ note saying that they “are fit for school”.

I hope that you found this information useful. If you have any questions please e-mail us in the clinic nurse@ishcmc.edu.vn Kind Regards, Clinic Staff

upcoming community events Following ISHCMC’s mission to create a “Caring Community” and understanding that many of our ISHCMC parents serve on local charity boards, the Community Section of the newsletter was created to help communicate upcoming charity events being held in HCMC. If you have an upcoming charity event that you would like to share with our school community, please send your submission to MarketingManager@ishcmc.edu.vn. All submissions and graphics should be sent as a PDF.

UNTIL NEXT TIME
