Abstract excerpt

The authors studied the epidemiology of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in a trachoma-endemic area of central Kenya. Children with abnormal ocular discharge were evaluated for clinical evidence of trachoma and were cultured for C. trachomatis. Isolated strains of C. trachomatis were immunotyped with monoclonal antibodies. Overall, 221 children from 207 families were evaluated. Clinically, 91 children (41%) had...
