  • Title: The effect of antibiotic treatment on active trachoma and ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
    Author: Mabey D, Solomon A.
    Journal: Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther; 2003 Aug; 1(2):209-16. PubMed ID: 15482115.
    Abstract:
    Antibiotics are one of four arms of the SAFE strategy for the control of trachoma, an eye infection that is responsible for more cases of blindness than any condition other than cataract. The evidence for the use of topical tetracycline and oral tetracycline, doxycycline, erythromycin, cotrimoxazole and azithromycin in trachoma are reviewed here and a number of issues are nominated as research and policy priorities.
