AdenoPlus

Point-of-Care Testing for Acute Conjunctivitis

Acute conjunctivitis – more commonly known as “pink eye” – affects nearly 6.9 million people in the United States every year.¹ Approximately 1 in 4 patients with acute conjunctivitis have confirmed adenoviral conjunctivitis.^2,3AdenoPlus is the first and only CLIA-waived, point-of-care test that detects all known serotypes of adenoviral conjunctivitis.

Early and accurate diagnosis of pink eye may prevent serious consequences including morbidity. Significant overlap exists in the clinical signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis and misdiagnosis by eye care professionals occurs in approximately 50% of conjunctivitis cases.⁴ With AdenoPlus you can make a rapid, accurate diagnosis before the patient leaves your office.

By implementing AdenoPlus into your practice, you can:

• Isolate and manage contagious patients
• Prevent the spread of infection
• Reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions
• Reduce potential ocular allergies and toxicities associated with unnecessary antibiotic use
• Help prevent antibiotic resistance
