“…Karena mata menjadi kering sehingga terjadi iritasi menyebabkan konjungtivitis. Pelebaran pembuluh darah disebabkan karena adanya peradangan ditandai dengan konjungtiva dan sklera yang merah, edema, rasa nyeri dan adanya sekret mukopurulen (Kanda, Ioannidis, Sim, Weston, & Koaik, 2023) Posisi konjungtiva yang terpapar pada banyak organisme dan faktor lingkungan lain yang mengganggu (KHAERUNNISA, 2019). Ada beberapa mekanisme perlindungan terhadap permukaan mata dari substansi luar, seperti Tear Film (Azizaturrahmah, 2018).…”

Konjungtivitis, yang sering kali dikenal sebagai "pink eye," merupakan suatu kondisi inflamasi pada konjungtiva, membran mukosa transparan yang melapisi bagian anterior bola mata dan bagian dalam palpebra. Kondisi ini dapat menimbulkan sejumlah gejala yang mencakup inflamasi, pembengkakan, pelebaran pembuluh darah, keluarnya cairan, dan rasa nyeri pada mata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendalami aspek-aspek tersebut, dengan fokus pada analisis anatomi, histologi, dan etiologi konjungtivitis. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif analisis observasi. Pengumpulan data melibatkan observasi langsung terhadap perubahan fisik pada konjungtiva, analisis histologis melalui pengambilan sampel jaringan konjungtiva. Data yang diperoleh akan dianalisis untuk mengidentifikasi pola perubahan dan hubungan antara faktor etiologis dengan dampak kesehatan mata. Hasil analisis histologi menyoroti perubahan seluler dan jaringan yang terjadi selama konjungtivitis, memperlihatkan peradangan dan perubahan patologis lainnya. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan holistik tentang konjungtivitis dari segi anatomi, histologi, dan etiologi. Temuan ini dapat menjadi dasar untuk pengembangan strategi preventif dan terapeutik yang lebih baik dalam merawat dan melindungi kesehatan mata.

Conjunctivitis is the most common eye disease, characterized by contextual inflammation, which can be caused by bacteria. The diagnosis of conjunctivitis is established based various factors, including the patients’s medical history, onset of eye symptoms, non-ocular symptoms, previous disease history, family medical history, allergies, and physical examination of the eyes, which may include assessments of visual acuity and vision field. Some cases of conjunctivitis require laboratory examinations to confirm the diagnosis. These may include cytological examination with Giemsa staining, Chlamydia Diagnostic Test, Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) or Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and microbiological tests. Microbiological examination helps identify the bacteria responsible for conjunctivitis and aids in treatment by prescribing antibiotics to suppress the growth of the infecting bacteria. While identification tests are not routinely performed, researchers often seek to determine the specific type of bacteria causing conjunctivitis infections, which may require several laboratory tests. Bacterial virulence plays a significant role, with genetic mutations potentially leading to severe infections of varying severity. Virulence genes encode proteins that express pathogenic properties. The species responsible for conjunctivitis can be definitively identified definitively through microbiological examination, utilizing methods such as the 16S Ribosomal RNA Sequencing (rRNA) technique, known for its accuracy and speed. This study aims to analyze the results of rRNA sequencing in cases of acute bacterial conjunctivitis caused by 16S rRNA genotyping. The research employed an exploratory metholodolot, with the results analyzed using the The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) tracking program database on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website. The findings revealed that Sphingomonas paucimobilis encoded the 16S rRNA using Universal Primary 27 F and 1492 R, obtained in a sequence size of 1351bp. The isolate demonstrated similarities to Sphingomonas paucimobilis.
