Abstract
In order to diagnose the trachoma we observed the eyes of 506 students aged between 6 and 14 years. 14,03% of these children presented follicular or intense trachomatous inflammation of the eye. The use of molecular biology methods (PCR + RFLP) over the conjonctival samples we had collected, led us to the identification of 21 C. trachomatis strains: 11 of the A genotype and 10 of the B genotype.
