Conjunctivitis can be classified into infective and noninfective. based on the type of discharge we have watery/serous, mucoid discharge and purulent discharge. The vireo explains about hyperacute conjunctivitis and gonococcal conjunctivitis. We talk about the classification of conjunctivitis based on morphology. It becomes important to differentiate between a papilla and a follicle in a case of conjunctivitis. a papilla will often have a central fibrovascular core whereas the blood vessels in a follicle lie in the periphery of the follicle. the common causes of papillary and follicular conjunctivitis is enumerated in the video. Difference between membranous and pseudomembranous conjunctivitis is enumerated and explained. We explain abot ligneous conjunctivitis as well. The video ends with why its important to examine lymph nodes in a case of conjunctivitis.
