Purulent ophthalmia, also known as purulent conjunctivitis, is a severe eye infection characterized by the presence of pus in the conjunctival sac. It often results from bacterial infections, such as those caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and significant discharge from the eye. Prompt medical treatment is essential to prevent complications, including vision loss.
