Studies on the development of scarring trachoma in Tanzania

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Trachoma is an ancient blinding disease which remains a public health and socio-economic threat to many communities, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Repeated conjunctival infection with Chlamydia trachomatis is thought to cause prolonged inflammation which leads to scarring and blindness, however, the disease is often found to progress in the absence of detected infection. Furthermore, despite apparently similar inf...
