Fig. 1. Early trachoma in a 5-year-old child. The conjunctiva of the everted upper lid margin has numerous lymphoid follicles, which appear as small elevated avascular lesions in the midst of the hyperemic, infiltrated conjunctiva (F3 or TF) (see Table 4). The distribution of fillicles in the central tarsal plate and diffuse infiltration (papillary hypertrophy; P2) (see Table 1) indicates this case is of moderate intensity. |
