Estimating Community Prevalence of OcularChlamydia trachomatisInfection using Pooled Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing

12 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Trachoma is the leading cause of blindness from infection worldwide. Treatment programs require accurate Chlamydia trachomatis infection prevalence rates to guide decision making. The use of clinical examination is by far the most common way to monitor activity, but may yield overestimates of infection prevalence. Laboratory testing on individual specimens such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is...
