Contributor: Peter Bakes, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Ophthalmia Neonatorum encompasses any conjunctivitis that presents within the first 28 days of life
  • Neonates often receive prophylactic silver nitrate eye drops for gonorrhea prophylaxis, but the drops can cause chemical conjunctivitis
  • Etiology & Timing of Presentation:
    • Silver nitrate conjunctivitis presents 0-2 days after birth
    • Neisseria gonorrhae presents 2-5 days after birth
    • Chlamydia trachomatis presents 5 days to 5 weeks
  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae conjunctivitis is vision-threatening, typically requiring admission and IV antibiotics with a 3rd generation cephalosporin
