  • Title: [Non-imported conjunctivitis with detection of Chlamydia trachomatis].
    Author: Korb J, Písová A, Jirásek A, Pavlík E, Melcrová K, Chválová M, Mosnová H.
    Journal: Cesk Oftalmol; 1989 Jul; 45(4):294-8. PubMed ID: 2791044.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. The diagnosis was established by isolation on tissue cultures with a typical finding of intracytoplasmatic inclusions. Serum antibodies were slightly elevated, the complement binding reaction was 1:16, ELISA 1:64. From the clinical aspect trachoma was not involved. The patient was not in contact with foreigners from endemic areas. The disease was cured only after general administration of Tetracycline. The authors maintain that the diagnosis and prevention of ocular Chlamydia infections in adults and neonates should be extended.
