Question 1

skin rash looks like shingles , constipated  , had blood in stool , and conjunctivitis ? what could all this be ?

Accepted Answer

Complicated: You cannot necessarily lump all of your symptoms into one basket.  See a doctor and get this worked out.  Would be most concerned with blood in stool.  Altho this likely to be external (hemorrhoids, fissure, etc.), you want to be sure it is nothing more serious, altho unlikely at your age.

Question 2

is pink eye caused by fecal matter?

Accepted Answer

rare: Most pink eyes are spread from others with pink eye and include bacterial and viral origin.  I can imagine that fecal matter might cause an infection but have difficulty imagining how it got into the eye.  I do not recommend trying this.

Question 3

can you catch pink eye from fecal matter?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial infection: You could certainly get a bacterial conjunctivitis from such an exposure.  Classic pink eye is a virus.  I runs a course and only symptomatic treatment is required.  A bacterial infection will usually have more severe and purulent discharge and can require an antibiotic for treatment.

Question 4

could fecal bacteria cause pink eye?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Enterococci bacteria can cause conjunctivitis.  Appropriate antibiotic drops are needed to treat it.

Question 5

bright red blood in stool, and sharp twisting pains to the far right of my navel, left eye looks like i have pink eye.. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Go to the ER: Any condition with bright red blood in the stool requires immediate attention by a doctor. Please go to a hospital or urgent care center immediately to look into why this is happening. Something acute in your abdomen like this can be serious

Question 7

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Disease of the eye should  not be treated empirically. Please se a doctor asap. Untreated eye disease can lead to blindness.

Question 8

what are the tests for conjunctivitis?

Accepted Answer

Conjunctivitis: For a bacterial conjunctivitis sometimes a culture and slide smear are done to clarify the offending organism.  Sometimes a slide smear is used to differentiate between a  viral and allergic conjunctivitis.  Occasionally a conjunctival biopsy may be required.

Question 9

what sort of disease is conjunctivitis?

Accepted Answer

Conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the coonjunctival tissues that covers the whites of the eyes and under the lids, due to  allergy, infection or toxic effect of medicines/ chemicals. Conjunctiva become swollen and red. Patients experience burning, blurred vision, tearing, redness, puffy eyelids,  discharge, itching, pain depending on the cause.

Question 10

when was conjunctivitis first discovered?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: This was undoubtedly one of the earliest eye diseases to be recognized.  There are ancient manuscripts describing various emolients and preparations of animal body organs and secretions as poultices to treat this condtiion.  So the "discovery" is ancient.  Reasonable treatments came about with the development of medical advances including eyedrops with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
