The disease Trachoma is an infectious disease responsible, at present, for approximately 3% of the world's blindness. Worldwide, there are about 8 million people irreversibly visually impaired by trachoma; an estimated 84 million cases of active disease in need of treatment, if blindness is to be prevented. More information about trachoma GET 2020 The Alliance for the Global Elimination of Blinding Trachoma by 2020 (GET 2020) supports and collaborates with WHO in carrying out essential activities such as epidemiological assessment, including rapid assessment and mapping, project implementation, coordination, and monitoring, disease surveillance, project evaluation and resource mobilization. It is open to all parties - governments, international organizations and nongovernmental organizations - which are willing and ready to contribute to international efforts.

    Extractions: bacterium prevalent in poor communities with limited access to adequate sanitation and clean water. This painful infection of the eye leads to a build-up of scar tissue, which forces the eyelid to curl inward and rake the cornea, an abnormality called trichiasis. Vision is diminished and - if left untreated - results in permanent blindness. The simple surgical procedure to correct trichiasis has a success rate of 80%, and can cost as little as $10 per person. For those in the early stages of trachoma, a course of tetracycline ointment or an oral dose of the medication Zithromax will stop the infection. "Health is the natural state of man. Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places."

    Extractions: Trachoma is a disease that has been with us from antiquity. It is discussed in ancient Egyptian texts written on papyrus and in even earlier writings from ancient China. Chronic infection with the trachoma organism, Chlamydia trachomatis , can lead to blindness. The disease came to prominence in Europe during the Napoleonic wars, when tens of thousands of British and French troops returned with trachoma after fighting in Egypt. It spread rapidly through the armies of Europe, where the troops lived in crowded and insanitary barracks. Most of all, trachoma was a disease of the urban slums. In Europe, as people left their relatively healthy rural homes they were crowded into the workhouses and tenements created by the Industrial Revolution. Personal and community hygiene fell to an all-time low and the prevalence of trachoma surged. The early European settlers of Australia brought trachoma with them. Whether the Australian Indigenous people had trachoma before colonisation is unclear, but it seems unlikely, as small groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers can maintain good hygiene.

    Extractions: Trachoma, which is also called granular conjunctivitis or Egyptian ophthalmia, is a contagious, chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis . It is characterized by swelling of the eyelids, sensitivity to light, and eventual scarring of the conjunctivae and corneas of the eyes. Description Trachoma is a major cause of blindness in the world. It is found in the Far East, as well as countries with desert climates. In the United States, it is most common among certain Native Americans and in parts of Appalachia. The infection is highly contagious in its early stages. Blindness results from recurrent untreated infections. The conjunctiva is the clear mucous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part (sclera) of the eye. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva. Trachoma is caused by C. trachomatis , a parasitic organism closely related to bacteria. It is transmitted by insects, by hand-to-eye contact, or by the sharing of infected handkerchiefs or towels. The incubation period is about a week. The early symptoms of trachoma include the development of follicles (small sacs) on the conjunctivae of the upper eyelids

Improved sanitation and avoidance in the use of common toilet articles (e.g., towels) are important measures that will limit the spread/acquisition of trachoma.

    Extractions: Trachoma is one of the most common causes of blindness in the developing world, and is most commonly associated with areas of extreme poverty. In fact, it is a very old disease - it was referred to in the 16th Century BC - and cases were recorded in Europe up until the last century. Trachoma is caused by a bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis which is, as the name indicates, very similar to the one that causes the sexually transmitted disease Chlamydia. In this case, however, the infection causes repeated conjunctivitis: leading to irritated eyes and a mucous-type discharge. Although this conjunctivitis will clear up after a short period of time (commonly a month or so), it is very easily spread, and people - especially children - become reinfected from their friends and relatives. The infection is spread in a variety of ways: the discharge is attractive to flies, and can be transmitted from babies to adults via the fingers and clothes. This is particularly the case in places where there is very little water and it's much more difficult for people to wash their hands and faces regularly. In the developing world, you will also often find large families living together, meaning that the infection can be endemic within the household.

The National Task Force on Trachoma undertook a national rapid assessment of trachoma in 2003, supported by Sight Savers and the World Health Organization , which identified hundreds of villages with trachoma. In 2004, door-to-door surveys were completed in selected villages to assess the Find out how Grecia Paul helps to reduce trachoma in Malawi Sight Savers supported the Kenya National Trachoma Survey during June and July, which took place in six of the 18 districts where trachoma is considered to be endemic. The survey revealed that potentially blinding trachoma was a problem in all surveyed districts. A five-year plan has now been developed to tackle trachoma on a national scale, while a two year pilot project will cater for the six districts surveyed. Recommendations have been made for improving personal and environmental hygiene, with provision of water being the single most important need. Antibiotic treatment and surgical services will also be provided through a collaboration of agencies, including Sight Savers.
