TRACHOMA:CAUSE, MANAGEMENT, DIAGNOSIS, PREVENTION| USEFUL VIDEO FOR MEDICAL AND PARAMEDICALSTUDENTS

Trachoma begins as an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the inner surface of the eyelids) and the cornea. Repeated infections cause the inner eyelid to become rough and scarred, leading the eyelashes to turn inward (a condition called trichiasis). The inward-turned lashes rub against the cornea, causing pain, corneal opacity, and eventually blindness if left untreated. Cause: Bacterium: Chlamydia trachomatis (serotypes A, B, Ba, and C) Mode of Transmission: Direct contact with discharge from eyes or nose of infected persons Indirect contact via contaminated towels, clothes, or flies (especially Musca sorbens) Symptoms: Redness and irritation of the eyes Discharge from the eyes Swollen eyelids In-turned eyelashes (trichiasis) in later stages Corneal scarring and vision loss Prevention and Control: Improved personal hygiene and facial cleanliness Access to clean water and sanitation Control of flies Use of antibiotics (azithromycin) Surgery for trichiasis in advanced cases Prevention: “SAFE” strategy by WHO S – Surgery A – Antibiotics F – Facial cleanliness E – Environmental improvement #Trachoma #disease #publichealth #education #awareness #like #share #subscribe #comment #communicablediseases #nepal #youtube #youtubeshorts #shorts
