©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Effect of antibiotics on cure This figure shows the rates of cure in children with acute infectious conjunctivitis treated with chloramphenicol eye drops or placebo drops. Data are reported on intention-to-treat analysis and children lost to follow-up are included in the denominator in calculating percentages. Children clinically cured after 7 days were censored from the study. With exclusion of children lost to follow-up, the cumulative cure rate at 7 days was 86 percent in the chloramphenicol group and 83 percent in the placebo group. Day zero is the day of recruitment.
