Description: Trachoma Control : A Guide for Programme Managers, Paperback by Solomon, ., ISBN 9241546905, ISBN-13 9789241546904, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Trachoma is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis; repeated infection causes the upper eyelid to turn inward so the eyelashes scratch the eyeball and cause dryness. It is passed by contact through flies, fingers or shared cloths and mainly affects the rural and very poor, who suffer from lack of access to water and sanitation. It is a major cause of blindness in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia. This guide for administrators of programs fighting trachoma covers methods of assessing and grading the disease in individuals, intervening through surgery, antibiotics, health education and improvements in water and sanitation, and planning that will gain financial and community support for the program. The packet includes color photographs for patient assessment purposes. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
