Conjunctival microbiome-host responses are associated with impaired epithelial cell health in both early and late stages of trachoma

2019-06-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease, is the leading infectious cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Host responses to ocular chlamydial infection resulting in chronic inflammation and expansion of non-chlamydial bacteria are hypothesised risk factors for development of active trachoma and conjunctival scarring <h4>Methods</h4> Ocular swabs from trachoma endemic populations i...
