Acceptability and feasibility of tests for infection, serological testing and photography to define need for interventions against trachoma

2024-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Trachoma causes blindness due to repeated conjunctival infection by Chlamydia trachomatis ( Ct ). Transmission intensity is estimated, for programmatic decision-making, by prevalence of the clinical sign trachomatous inflammation—follicular (TF) in children aged 1–9 years. Research into complementary indicators to field-graded TF includes work on conjunctival photography, tests for ocular Ct in...
