Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the retinal changes in patients with CLN2 disease who are receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), focusing on the loss of central retinal thickness (CRT).
- Using optical coherence tomography scans, researchers analyzed the structural details of the retina and found that the degeneration primarily affects photoreceptor cells.
- Findings indicate that early disruptions in the ellipsoid zone (EZ) of the retina precede more significant photoreceptor degeneration, which progresses in a predictable pattern, providing valuable biomarkers for assessing disease and treatment effectiveness.

Objective: To examine in vitro resistance to azithromycin and moxifloxacin in bacterial conjunctivitis isolates.
Methods: MIC90s (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) and resistance rates to azithromycin and moxifloxacin were determined based upon microtiter broth dilution and/or antimicrobial gradient test strips in a multicenter phase III study and confirmed externally.
Results: The most common isolates collected from bacterial conjunctivitis patients in the phase III study were Haemophilus influenzae (40.

Purpose: To use current state department of health regulations regarding exclusion of students with conjunctivitis from school as a starting point in developing uniform recommendations for schools.
Methods: State departments of health were asked to state their policy regarding when a child with conjunctivitis may return to school. This information was collated and examined for trends.
