摘要

Purpose: Conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the conjunctiva, is a common condition that can be caused by infectious (eg, bacterial or viral infections) and noninfectious (eg, allergy) etiologies. Treatment involves diagnosis of the underlying cause and use of appropriate therapies. A broad-spectrum therapy that can address multiple etiologies, and also the accompanying inflammation, would be very useful. In this review, we discuss the usefulness of topical ophthalmic corticosteroids and ophthalmic formulations that combine corticosteroids with anti-infectives/antibiotics for treating acute infectious conjunctivitis. Methods: A review of the published literature and relevant treatment guidelines. Results: Topical corticosteroids are useful in treating ocular inflammation, but most treatment guidelines recommend steroid use generally in severe cases of conjunctivitis. This is partly due to risks associated with steroid use. These risks include potential for prolonging adenoviral infections and potentiating/worsening herpes simplex virus infections, increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and cataracts. Most of these perceived risks are not, however, supported by high-quality clinical data. They are also associated with long-term steroid uses that are dissimilar to applications for infectious conjunctivitis. Clinical data show that ophthalmic formulations that combine corticosteroids with broad-spectrum anti-infectives could be effective and -well tolerated when used for short-term treatment (<=2 weeks). Conclusions: Corticosteroids, in combination with anti-infectives, could be a promising treatment option for acute conjunctivitis subject to development of further evidence on their effectiveness and safety in conjunctivitis treatment.
