ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Seasonal and epidemic conjunctivitis (pink eye) infections are highly contagious and impose a significant economic burden worldwide. Long-term visual impairment can occur.

METHODS:

This study used metagenomic deep sequencing to evaluate pathogens causing acute infectious conjunctivitis in Burkina Faso.

RESULTS:

We found that pathogens causing conjunctivitis in Burkina Faso are diverse, with human adenoviruses responsible for a small fraction of the samples tested.

CONCLUSIONS:

These results are unexpected and suggest the importance of regional surveillance.
