Abstract
Eye lesions in the structure of chlamydia occupy one of the leading places, the proportion in adults ranges from 3 to 30 % of all cases of conjunctivitis. 130 patients with sluggish chronic conjunctivitis aged 19–50 years were examined, including 90 women and 40 men. The duration of the disease was from 3 months to 5 years. The traditional cytological method was used as the main diagnostic method to determine the etiological cause of chronic inflammation. According to the results of clinical and laboratory examination of patients with chronic conjunctivitis, chlamydial infection was detected in 9.2 % of cases with the presence of dry eye syndrome (DES) – in 6.2 %. Thus, it is necessary to improve the quality of timely diagnosis of acute chlamydial infection, without leading to a chronic form of the disease. The traditional cytological method remains quite informative for the diagnosis of conjunctival ophthalmochlamydia.
