STIs in the Eyes
Master the complexities of prescribing opiates for chronic pain and managing substance use disorders with our course on controlled substance regulations, designed to comply with state and federal guidelines for healthcare professionals.
Chlamydia trachomatis is a gram negative, obligate intracellular bacterium that can manifest in ocular tissue in three forms which include trachoma, neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis, and adult inclusion conjunctivitis. Trachoma is the number one cause of infectious vision loss worldwide accounting for 1.4% of blindness worldwide. Neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis can be spread vertically from mother to child during vaginal birth and can evolve systemically into pneumonia. Chlamydia is the most frequently reported sexually transmitted infection in the United States and is often asymptomatic, however, symptoms do occur when patients manifest the infection as conjunctivitis. Interprofessional collaboration to implement prophylactic treatments, screenings, and treatment when detected enhances the care the patient receives and may prevent further infectious spread.
