" 06/01/1985 - "It was concluded that C trachomatis is the most frequent cause of neonatal conjunctivitis in the low-income, urban population studied; that erythromycin estolate administered orally for 14 days eradicates chlamydial conjunctival and nasopharyngeal infection; and that topical sulfacetamide therapy may result in persistent conjunctival infection and nasopharyngeal colonization." 09/01/1988 - "One hundred fifty-eight patients, 21 years of age or less, presenting with culture-positive (Haemophilus influenzae or Streptococcus pneumoniae) conjunctivitis were treated with trimethoprim-polymyxin B (TP), gentamicin sulfate (GS) or sodium sulfacetamide (SS) ophthalmic solution for 10 days.

" 07/15/1984 - "Trimethoprim-sulfacetamide-polymyxin B and polymyxin B-neomycin-gramicidin (Neosporin, the control) eliminated bacteria from the eyes of patients with conjunctivitis or blepharitis with equal effectiveness.
