  abstract = {<p><b>BACKGROUND: </b>Seasonal and epidemic conjunctivitis (pink eye) infections are highly contagious and impose a significant economic burden worldwide. Long-term visual impairment can occur.</p>

<p><b>METHODS: </b>This study used metagenomic deep sequencing to evaluate pathogens causing acute infectious conjunctivitis in Burkina Faso.</p>

<p><b>RESULTS: </b>We found that pathogens causing conjunctivitis in Burkina Faso are diverse, with human adenoviruses responsible for a small fraction of the samples tested.</p>

<p><b>CONCLUSIONS: </b>These results are unexpected and suggest the importance of regional surveillance.</p>
