Bacillus of conjunctival catarrh refers to a specific type of bacteria known as Bacillus, which is associated with an infectious condition called conjunctival catarrh. Conjunctival catarrh, also known as conjunctivitis or pink eye, is inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin and transparent membrane that covers the front surface of the eye and lines the inner side of the eyelids.
This particular type of bacteria, the Bacillus of conjunctival catarrh, is responsible for causing the infection. Bacillus is a genus of rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria that can be found in various environments, including soil and water. It is known to be a common cause of various infections in both humans and animals.
When the Bacillus of conjunctival catarrh infects the conjunctiva, it leads to symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, discharge, and eye discomfort. The infection can often be transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals, contaminated surfaces, or objects. Proper hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing and avoiding touching the eyes, can help prevent the spread of the bacteria.
Treatment for conjunctival catarrh caused by the Bacillus of conjunctival catarrh typically involves the use of topical antibiotics and supportive measures to relieve symptoms. It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist, as untreated conjunctivitis can lead to complications or spread to other parts of the eye.
