Abstract

In newborns seen a median of 11 days after birth, 97/1699 (5.7%) had conjunctivitis, including 13/97 (13.4%) with Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae detected. Among all babies, we estimated that 6.6% (95% confidence interval 3.8-9.9%) would have C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae detected, of which 87.0% (74.8-93.8%) would be asymptomatic.
