A study analyzing a sample of 1099 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 disease in China found a prevalence of conjunctivitis symptoms of only 0.8% and other small series have reported a prevalence around 3% [4, 6, 7] . Despite our study showed no difference in the clinical presentation of conjunctivitis in male and female, we found that conjunctivitis was more frequent in males with moderate COVID-19 and women with mild disease. A better understanding of the ocular manifestations of the virus will assist in early identification of SARS-CoV-2infected cases, prioritizing diagnostic testing in patients with clinical findings compatible with conjunctivitis associated with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-354134-gb2pf5kb.txt	./txt/cord-354134-gb2pf5kb.txt
