Abstract:
Bangladesh has seen a recent surge of infectious conjunctivitis nationwide for the last few weeks. Reported by journalists of daily newspapers, the incidence is now 33.33% in some eye outpatient departments (OPDs) of the country, which is surprisingly higher than the usual expected rate of the disease. In some districts, educational institutions have been shut down and it is greatly hampering the daily life of the citizens. Though the causative agent of the infection is yet unknown, the higher disease notification rate solicits rapid epidemiological studies and microbial assessment. Also, Bangladesh should be more aware in its hygiene practice and take adequate measures to halt the transmission of the disease to its South Asian neighbouring countries.
