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.

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).

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.
