Adenoviral Konjonktivitlerin Halk Sağlığındaki Yeri
Özet
Adenovirüsler, göz kliniklerine yapılan başvuruların önemli bir kısmını oluşturan yaygın ve oldukça bulaşıcı viral konjonktivite neden olur. Hastalık hafif semptomlarla ortaya çıkabilse de, kalıcı görme kaybı da dahil olmak üzere ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Salgınlara yol açma ve iş verimliliği kaybına ve ekonomik kayıplara neden olma potansiyeli nedeniyle önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur.
Adenovirüsler, cansız yüzeylerde uzun süre aktif kalabilen dayanıklı virüslerdir. Kirlenmiş yüzeylerle temas, yakın kişisel temas veya yetersiz klorlanmış yüzme havuzu suyu yoluyla kolayca bulaşırlar. Hastalığın en yaygın iki klinik formu salgın keratokonjonktivit (EKC) ve faringokonjonktival ateştir (PCF).
