An epidemic of acute conjunctivitis in Dar es Salaam in 2010 demonstrated the importance of a strong infectious diseases epidemiological surveillance network to minimise disease outbreaks. Misunderstanding of the causes and management of diseases explains the repetitive nature of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) in Dar es Salaam. This paper discusses AHC and Paederus spp. keratoconjunctivitis and periorbital oedema ('Nairobi red eyes') that are confused as being associated with recurrent epidemics of conjunctivitis in Dar es Salaam.
2010 年达累斯萨拉姆急性结膜炎疫情表明，建立一个强大的传染病监测网络对于减少疾病爆发至关重要。人们对疾病的病因和治疗方法存在误解，这也是达累斯萨拉姆急性出血性结膜炎（AHC）反复发作的原因。本文讨论了 AHC 和 Paederus spp.引起的角膜结膜炎和眶周水肿（“内罗毕红眼病”），这些疾病常与达累斯萨拉姆反复发作的结膜炎有关。
