Most ophthalmologists deal with cases of acute conjunctivitis on a very frequent basis. Adenovirus is believed to be the commonest cause of infectious conjunctivitis.[1] Epidemiological information related to adenoviral conjunctivitis is mostly derived from the reporting of outbreaks of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF), or acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC). However, many ocular adenoviruses are endemic, and ongoing infections in the absence of an outbreak usually go unreported. This is because very few countries have surveillance systems in place for adenoviral infections.
