An extensive outbreak of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis is being experienced in South Africa. This is part of a pandemic affecting Africa, Asia and the Americas. It is thought to be caused by enterovirus 70 and is highly contagious, the main mode of transmission being direct contact. The disease is usually confined to the eye and is self-limiting, requiring only symptomatic treatment. Sequelae have been reported, most concern being caused by the neurological complications.
