[Is conjunctival congestion in patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus definitely related to the novel coronavirus].
This article was published ahead of print on the official website of Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology on April 14, 2020. Currently, it is commonly reported that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients are associated with conjunctival congestion and other symptoms, and the transmission route and high-risk eye diseases and high-risk working status are speculated. ⋯ The symptoms and signs of conjunctivitis in COVID-19 patients may be attributed to a variety of factors. Therefore, conjunctival symptoms should not be linked to 2019 novel coronavirus without evidence. ( Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56: 571-572).
