Detection of<i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i>Ocular Infection in Trachoma-Endemic Communities by rRNA Amplification

1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Trachoma remains the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends mass antibiotic distributions in its strategy to eliminate blinding trachoma. To determine the most effective antibiotic treatment strategy, it is essential to have a diagnostic test that can correctly measure the true status of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection in individuals,...
