Sequelae of trachoma - what does this mean

Trachoma is a bacterial infection caused by chlamydia trachomatis that is spread by eye-seeking flies and through contact with contaminated objects. it is a leading cause of preventable blindness, and its sequelae can include keratitis, corneal opacification and eventual blindness if left untreated.

What happens during the disease - sequelae of trachoma

The pathogenesis of sequelae of trachoma is caused by chronic inflammation of the conjunctiva due to an infection with the bacterium chlamydia trachomatis. this inflammation can lead to scarring and, in severe cases, can cause the eyelids to turn inward, leading to a condition known as trichiasis, which can cause blindness. in addition, the infection can spread to the cornea, causing corneal opacity, which can also lead to blindness.
