Virtual Curbside

This month we begin a new series on common pediatric eye issues, starting with viral conjunctivitis. In this episode, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Ophthalmologist Mitchell Strominger, MD review the clinical features that help distinguish viral conjunctivitis from other causes of red and pink eye, discuss typical disease course, and address common misconceptions around treatment and contagion. They also explore practical counseling points for families, including symptom management, infection control, and guidance on school and daycare attendance. This discussion is designed to help pediatricians confidently diagnose viral conjunctivitis and provide clear, evidence-based reassurance to families. Have a question? Email questions@vcurb.com. They will be answered in week four.For more information about available credit, visit vCurb.com.ACCME Accreditation StatementThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Colorado Medical Society through
