(H13.2*) Conjunctivitis in other diseases classified elsewhere

Conjunctivitis in other diseases classified elsewhere is a condition in which inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye) occurs as a result of an underlying medical condition such as allergic reactions, infections, autoimmune diseases, or other inflammatory processes. it can cause redness, swelling, and discharge in the eyes.

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the thin, clear tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eyeball. it is caused by a variety of agents, including bacteria, viruses, allergens, irritants, and toxins. these agents can enter the eye through contact with contaminated objects, direct contact with infectious secretions, or inhalation of airborne particles. once the conjunctiva is infected, it can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and discharge.
