Resumen de Conjunctivitis
The conjunctiva is a thin membrane covering the inside of the eyelids and the white part of the eye (the sclera ). Inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva is called conjunctivitis (�pink eye�). It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi; allergy; exposure to chemicals or irritants; or long-term presence of a foreign body, such as hard or rigid contact lenses.
