    Extractions: Trachoma is the world's leading cause of blindness, yet very simple hygiene behaviors – frequent face and hand washing, use of one’s own towel, and improved domestic sanitation – prevent the transmission of the bacteria that infects the eye. By adapting its skills in rural marketing from product related promotion to preventive health promotion, IDE is participating in a multi-organizational effort spearheaded by the World Health Organization to eradicate blinding trachoma by the year 2020. IDE has designed a sophisticated social marketing campaign, which it is conducting alongside local government partners to reach a target audience of 1.8 million people across six provinces in northern Vietnam. IDE is employing innovative strategies that include diverse audio, video, and print materials, schools programs, and women's union meetings to encourage the adoption of targeted improved hygiene habits. In addition, IDE is partnering with Helen Keller International to install water and sanitation facilities in schools throughout the target areas. IDE’s social marketing project is a component of a larger effort funded and coordinated by the International Trachoma Initiative that includes the distribution of an antibiotic and surgery for the most severe cases of infection. The program has achieved remarkable results. Trachoma rates in all project districts have fallen under 5%, the threshold level below which the scientific community believes the bacteria cannot sustain itself.

    Extractions: Trachoma a highly contagious chronic form of conjunctivitis affecting the eyelids caused by a strain of Chlamydia trachomatis. Hypertrophy of the conjunctiva, and formation of follicles with subsequent cicatrichal changes are noted in this disease. The disease is very harmful to the eyes and in the past it was the main cause of blindness throughout the world. It is estimated that the disease affects about 400 million people annually, mostly in tropical Africa and Asia, but is also seen in southwestern parts of America. About 20 million persons became blind by this disease. Although the incidence of the disease is greatly reduced during recent years, it has not been eradicated completely. Children under 15 years are susceptible, but elderly people are not spared. People living in damp, slum areas of different cities of Bangladesh, and those living in unhygienic conditions in rural and thickly populated suburban areas are the victims. Complications include pannus, ptosis, and corneal ulcers. The eyelids become very swollen and inflamed and there is a discharge. Children with ocular infections are the primary reservoir of the infection, and the spread is by hand-to-eye contact between children or on the feet of flies that feed on the exudate of the children with active infection. Transmission readily occurs not only by direct contact with trachomatous material, but also indirectly through contaminated articles such as towels

    Extractions: Trachoma-General Information: What is Trachoma? Trachoma is an infectious disease, which affects mainly the mucous membranes of the eye and eyelids. Most people get this infection from other members of the family, usually as children. If not treated the disease quietly damages the eye over the course of many years. Commonly the only symptoms may be itching or burning of the eyes. In late stages, trachoma can cause the eyelashes to turn in and rub against the eye, which might lead to recurrent infection and at the end corneal scar formation and decreased vision. Trachoma is difficult to treat as: - Patients have only mild eye discomfort and may not go early enough to the doctor for treatment. - The germ which causes trachoma is hard to kill and it must be treated with medicines for a long time: a few weeks with pills by mouth; or, by ointment. Some people may forget to take their eye medicine this long. If only one member of the household is treated and cured, he or she may acquire the disease again from another member of the family who was not treated. What can you do to successfully free yourself and your family from trachoma and help to conquer this disease in the Kingdom?

    http://www.emcf.org/about/pastprograms/iti.htm
    
    Extractions: In the mid-1990s, after nearly a quarter century of work in Tropical Disease Research, the Foundation began to take stock of its accomplishments and prospects for the future. In particular, our work in the prevention and treatment of trachoma - a painful disease of the eyelids that normally leads to blindness - had shown remarkable results, in extensive field tests and through international collaborations in some of the worst-affected nations. We were determined, as we explored opportunities to conclude our own efforts, that progress toward wiping out trachoma-related blindness should not end. Indeed, our goal was to find a way to accelerate the fight against trachoma, expand its reach, and establish it soundly enough to endure until the job is done. Research and experience pointed toward the need for a new institution to carry on that mission.
