Which of the following statements about "Pink Eye" is accurate?

  1. It is caused only by viral infection

  2. It can result from both viral and bacterial infections

  3. It is not contagious

  4. It affects only children

The correct answer is: It can result from both viral and bacterial infections

The statement that "Pink Eye" can result from both viral and bacterial infections is accurate because conjunctivitis, commonly known as Pink Eye, can be caused by various infectious agents. Viral conjunctivitis is often associated with illnesses like the common cold, while bacterial conjunctivitis may stem from bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae. Additionally, conjunctivitis can also be caused by irritants or allergens, but the option specifically addresses the infectious types. This understanding emphasizes the need for proper diagnosis as treatment may differ significantly depending on the type of infection involved. Other options do not hold true—Pink Eye is indeed contagious when caused by viral or bacterial infections, it can affect people of all ages, and is not limited to children.
