Trichiasis
Use of photography for support of trachoma grading: Progress report
This report summarizes two workshops and subsequent meetings about the use of photography to support trachoma grading.
Effect of repeated epilation for minor trachomatous trichiasis on lash burden, phenotype and surgical management willingness: A cohort study
This study shows frequent epilation neither hampers surgical acceptance nor results in more damaging trichiatic eyelashes than the pre-epilation lashes; and can be used as an alternative to the programmatic management of minor unoperated and postoperative TT cases.
The magnitude and associated Factors of Postoperative Trichiasis among adults who underwent Trachomatous Trichiasis Surgery in Ambassel District, North-East Ethiopia
This study assesses the magnitude and associated factors of postoperative Trichiasis among 18 years and above individuals who underwent Trachomatous Trichiasis surgery between 2006 and 2011 Ethiopian Fiscal year in Ambassel District, North-East Ethiopia, 2020.
The upper eyelid levator weakening procedure for the correction of severe cicatricial entropion caused by trachoma
This case series showed that upper eyelid levator weakening combined with tarsotomy and an anterior lamella recession procedure is a safe and effective treatment for severe trachoma-induced UCE in Chinese patients.
National approaches to trichiasis surgical follow-up, outcome assessment and surgeon audit in trachoma-endemic countries in Africa
This study assesses national approaches to trichiasis surgical follow-up, outcome assessment and audit, and identify national targets for good surgical outcome (defined as the percentage of patients undergoing surgery for trichiasis remaining free of post-operative trichiasis for a defined interval after surgery).
Conjunctival scarring, corneal pannus and Herbert’s pits in adolescent children in trachoma-endemic populations of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu
Piloting a trachomatous trichiasis patient case-searching approach in two localities of Sudan
This study assesses a systematic TT case-finding approach to identify patients in Sudan.
Trichiasis and Trachoma
The immuno-pathogenesis of progressive scarring trachoma: results of a four-year longitudinal study in Tanzanian children
This study highlights the importance of innate pro-inflammatory signals from the epithelium and implicate IL -23A -responsive cells in driving trachomatous scarring, with potential key mechanistic roles for PDGFB, MMP12 and SPARCL1 in orchestrating fibrosis.
