About this course

Chlamydia is the most frequently reported sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Often asymptomatic, however, symptoms do occur when manifested as conjunctivitis. Chlamydia trachomatis can manifest in ocular tissue in three forms; trachoma, neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis, and adult inclusion conjunctivitis. Trachoma is the number one cause of infectious vision loss worldwide. Neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis can be spread vertically from mother to child during vaginal birth and can evolve systemically into pneumonia. Screening, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed. This course is presented by both an optometrist and registered nurse; highlighting interprofessional collaboration and improved patient care.
