=====================

'pink eye' is a lay term for conjunctivitis. Strictly speaking, conjunctivitis means inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye. This can be a result of allergy, foreign bodies, viral infections, bacterial infections, ect. Most people who see 'pink eye' and automatically think it's a bacteria infection. However, the majority of conjunctivitis are caused by viruses.
