Definition
English
:
An
infection
of the eyes characterized by the presence in conjunctival
epithelial cells
of
inclusion bodies
indistinguishable from those of
trachoma
. It is acquired by
infants
during birth and by
adults
from
swimming pools
. The etiological agent is
CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS
whose natural habitat appears to be the genito-urinary tract. Inclusion
conjunctivitis
is a less severe

and usually clears up spontaneously.
