Trachoma is the most common infectious cause of blindness. Repeated episodes of infection with Chlamydia trachomatis in childhood lead to severe conjunctival inflammation, scarring, and potentially blinding inturned eyelashes (trichiasis or entropion) in later life.

Trachoma is the most common infectious cause of blindness. It is caused by ocular serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis. Transmission is favoured in poor communities, where crowding is common and access to water and sanitation inadequate. Repeated reinfection over many years causes dense scarring of the upper eyelid.

Trachoma causes one-quarter of the world's blindness and, although it has disappeared from many developed areas, it remains a major problem, especially in underprivileged rural areas in developing countries. Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular biology of chlamydia offer encouragement for the eventual development for an effective ...

Trachoma is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness. In 1997 the World Health Organization launched an initiative on trachoma control based on the 'SAFE' strategy (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness and environmental improvement).To assess the evidence supporting the antibiotic arm of the SAFE strategy by assessing the effects of ...

HISTORICAL REVIEW TRACHOMA is one of the oldest diseases known to man. Well known since Biblical times, it is still one of the greatest causes of blindness in the world. Among the ancient Romans and Greeks, such famous men as Aetius, Paulus Aeginetus, Alexander, Trailaus, Horace and Cicero were said to have been victims. It was known in ancient Egypt,
