Abstract
On July, 2023, the head of a GDMC, Dehradun similar eye symptoms among the students. We investigated the cluster to confirm the diagnosis, identify potential exposures, and propose recommendations. We defined a case as redness/watering/discharge from any eye among the students15 July, 2023 to 20 august 2023. We actively searched for the cases and calculated attack rates. We drew epicurve by date of symptoms onset. We conducted a Prospective cohort study of students and staff. We collected data on potential exposures and calculated Risk Ratio (RR), 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI), and Population Attributable Risk (PAR).
