Prognosis Prognosis of neonatal conjunctivitis is generally considered to be good as long as early diagnosis is made and prompt medical therapy is initiated. Most cases of infectious conjunctivitis respond to appropriate treatment. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Etiology
In humans, chlamydiae are known to cause trachoma (which is still one of the major blinding diseases in the world) and are also one of the most common etiological agents of sexually transmitted diseases and the sequelae thereof, such as infertility. [books.google.com]
A recent study found an estimated prevalence of 17% among nearly 1000 newborn infants in Pakistan. [1] Indicidence of neonatal conjunctivitis remains high in Africa. [2] Etiology The three main etiologies of neonatal conjunctivitis include: Chemical Bacterial [eyewiki.aao.org]
C. trachomatis has become a major etiologic agent of sexually transmitted diseases. In men, Chlamydiae are associated with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), post gonococcal urethritis, and epididymitis. [mblintl.com]

The objective of the present study was to determine the aetiology of neonatal conjunctivitis and clinico-epidemiological correlates of chlamydial ophthalmia neonatorum. Fifty-eight newborns with signs and symptoms of conjunctivitis were studied. [ijmm.org]
It is therefore useful to gather epidemiological evidence to guide in the routine diagnosis and treatment of such infections. [popline.org]
