Résumé

Among surveyed households, the transmission rate of pediatric conjunctivitis was 12%. Rates did not differ when the index child did or did not use an ophthalmic antibiotic (14% vs 11% [P = 0.6]). Transmission rates were lower than for other infections where children are not routinely excluded from school or daycare.
