Khanduja S et al. – Forty children had signs of active trachoma that included TF and TI. At least one ocular morbidity was present in 69% of all children that were examined. Unclean face carried a 2.70 times higher risk and poor ocular hygiene had 2.05 times higher risk for trachoma infection. Among clinically positive cases, direct immunoflourescence assay and polymerase chain reaction assays were positive in 25% and 10%.
