Chlamydia Kerato-conjunctivitis (Paratrachoma)

Chlamydia Kerato-conjunctivitis (Paratrachoma)
After acute onset of follicular conjunctivitis with palpable preauricular lymphnodes the cornea can get involved with marginal and central infiltrates, as in this case. These can progress to subepithelial opacities and neovascularization. The signs and symptoms are very similar to those of Trachoma. (This eye had been falsely treated with steroids, therefore the low injection of the conjunctiva).
