Conjunctivitis prevalence higher for adult women than men
September 15, 2017
(HealthDay)—Adult women have a higher prevalence of conjunctivitis than men, and cases peak in the spring, according to a research letter published online Sept. 14 in JAMA Ophthalmology.
David A. Ramirez, from the University of California in San Francisco, and colleagues calculated national estimates of encounters with a primary diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis, and estimated the incidence of conjunctivitis diagnosed in the emergency department using population figures from the 2010 U.S. decennial census as the denominator.
