This study described the pattern of trichiasis, active trachoma and trachoma risk factors in 9 governorates of Yemen plus Socotra Island, using a rapid assessment during October and February 2004. A total of 3169 children aged 1-9 years were examined in a central meeting point or at home. Active trachoma was found in a high percentage of children in Al-Jawf, Mareb and Shabwah governorates and t...
The clinical findings in 116 patients with a provisional diagnosis of trichiasis are presented. In 69% a small degree of entropion producing lash-globe contact was detected. The term lid border entropion is proposed for this condition, which is recognised clinically by conjunctivalisation of the meibomian gland orifices and anterior placement of the mucocutaneous junction. These features were c...
Entropion-trichiasis is seen mainly in adults. It was observed only in old people in South West Africa (Eiselen and Gear, I960), and in Casamance was rarely present in children under I5 years and not at all in infants (Vellieux, Le Breton, Oliveau, and Larmane, I959). It was not found amongst 556 trachomatous schoolchildren in Senegal (Vola, 1958). In a Gambian village of 400 inhabitants there ...
BACKGROUND Trachoma is widely considered a disease of poverty. Although there are many epidemiological studies linking trachoma to factors normally associated with poverty, formal quantitative data linking trachoma to household economic poverty within endemic communities is very limited. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Two hundred people with trachomatous trichiasis were recruited through comm...
Trachomatous trichiasis (TT) is the blinding consequence of infective trachoma. It occurs when in-turned eyelashes scrape the cornea, and it affects over eight million people worldwide. It is painful and has been likened to thorns scraping your eyes every time you blink. Lid rotation surgery, which restores the in-turned eyelashes to the proper position, is the mainstay of treatment for TT. Unf...
PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of trachoma in each of the 25 local government areas (LGAs) of Niger State, Nigeria. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in each Niger State LGA between March and April 2014, as part of the Global Trachoma Mapping Project (GTMP). GTMP protocols were used in planning and conduct of the surveys. Using probability proportional to si...
