Abstract
This study focuses on the findings of an outbreak of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Mamelodi in a general practice early in 1989. Age-sex rates are given and emphasis is placed on the management and prevention of the spread of this highly contagious disease, which has sporadically affected millions of economically active people over the past 20 years since it was first recognised as a clinical condition.
