Diagnosis
Trachoma is a form of chronic follicular conjunctivitis
caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. This disease can affect all
ages but more common in young people and children. The
most affected area is on the Balkan Peninsula. Many of the
affected races are found in the Jewish race, indigenous
Australians and Indian Americans or areas with poor hygiene.
The mode of transmission of this disease is through direct
contact with the secretion of tracoma patients or through the
tools of everyday necessities such as towels, beauty
equipment, and others. The incubation period averages 7 days
(range from 5 to 14 days) (Ilyas, 2015).
