What the FDA AER plate says about Conjunctivitis
Signature read: 857 reports place Conjunctivitis in the upper third of FDA AER volume (#441 of 2,481). Report volume is upper-third scale: 857 named reports in the openFDA extract. 81 of 857 reports were death-coded (9.5% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Muscle weakness NOS (±1 reports). Lead species Dog (655). Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (127).
Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
