Neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis,showing a blood-stained discharge from the infant's closed,swollen eyes. This inflammation of the conjunctiva,the delicate mucous membrane covering the front of the eye & the insides of the eyelids,is due to the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The conjunctiva becomes red,swollen & may discharge water or pus. Chlamydial conjunctivitis of the newborn is acquired during birth from an infected mother. Untreated infections may result in scarring of the conjunctiva & an increased risk of developing C. trachomatis pneumonia | |
