Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trachoma: Its Character and Effects The increasing prevalence of trachoma in the United States attracted widespread attention for some years prior to 1897. Cases and outbreaks of the disease, especially among school children and the alien population, were noted by numerous observers, and because of the contagiousness of the disease and the seriousness of its sequelae, it was regarded as a menace to the public health. Fewer cases had been observed among native-born Americans, and the increase was attributed to the influx of a large alien population to the congested centers along the Atlantic seaboard and elsewhere. During the past twenty-five 7 ears immigrants have come from as many countries. During the first fifteen years of this quarter of a century the bulk of immigration came from northern Europe, principally Germany, Scandinavia, and the British Isles countries in which trachoma is relatively infrequent. During the past twelve years the tide of immigration from southern Europe has been steadily increasing, until at the present time the larger part of the alien population arriving at our shores originates in Italy, Austria-Hungary, the Russian Empire, and countries bordering on the northern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean. This change in the source of arriving immigrants and resulting difference in the character of the people is very significant and in all probability accounts for the marked increase of the disease noted above. Prior to 1897 ophthalmologists and representative bodies urged that immediate steps be taken to prevent the further importation of the disease, in the belief that such precautions would be an important factor in the elimination of the disease from the country. Dr. Miles Standish, of Boston, an eminent authority on diseases of the eyes, in an article which appeared in the Medical Communications of the Massachusetts Medical Society, vol. 17, No. 11. referred to this question in part as follows: I may say in passing that the presence of acute trachoma in the conjunctiva of immigrants should be a good and sufficient reason for turning them hack whence they came. A large proportion of these cases within a few months after their arrival become incapacitated and are public charges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trachoma is an infectious eye disease that causes blindness; it is prevalent in many poor rural communities. The World Health Organization has set the year 2020 as the target for global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. To reach this target, the SAFE strategy (Surgery for trichiasis Antibiotics to treat Chlamydia trachomatis infection, and Facial cleanliness and Environmental improvement to reduce transmission of C. trachomatis from one person to another) is recommended for districts and communities with endemic disease. This guide has been written for managers of national and district trachoma control programs. It sets out, step-by-step, what is needed to assess the magnitude and extent of the trachoma problem in the area and how to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate a program to control, and ultimately eliminate trachoma. Templates for a number of forms recommended for use in a program can be found in the annex. To allow adaptation of the forms for use in a specific program, electronic versions are available on the CD-ROM that accompanies this guide. The CD-ROM also contains an antibiotic requirement estimator, a template budget and a generic evaluation manual. Two versions of this guide are available:The trainer s version includes the guide with a set of 30 slides and the CD-ROM. The learner's version contains the guide with the CD-ROM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New insights into one of the world's most common infectious diseases Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that cause one of the most common sexually transmitted infectious diseases in the world. The infection disproportionately impacts women and the highest prevalence of infection is found in adolescents. Most chlamydial infections are asymptomatic. Untreated infections are sources of further spread of infection and can lead to serious consequences including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Chlamydial infections also increase a person's susceptibility to HIV and other STDs. Featuring contributions by internationally recognized experts in epidemiology, infectious disease research and chlamydial biology, this book provides up-to-date reviews from a clinical and public health perspective on chlamydia epidemiology and control programs, genomics and pathogenicity, diagnosis, treatment, host immune responses, and the latest on the search for an effective vaccine. Also included are chapters on the impact of chlamydial infection on specific populations such as the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and an update on the outbreak in Europe of the invasive chlamydial infection, lymphogranuloma venereum or LGV. This comprehensive publication is intended for clinicians, public health workers and scientists with interest in sexually transmitted diseases, medical microbiology, infectious diseases and clinical research.
