Immunology of trachomatous conjunctivitis.

Bulletin de la Societe belge d'ophtalmologie - 1 Jan 2001

Abu el-Asrar A M, Geboes K, Missotten L

Abstract excerpt

Trachoma, a chronic follicular conjunctivitis caused by infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, is a leading cause of preventable blindness. The blinding complications are associated with progressive conjunctival scarring. Our immunohistochemical studies of conjunctival biopsies from children with active trachoma demonstrated the presence of both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Antichlamydial antibodies...
