Antibiotics are one of four arms of the SAFE strategy for the control of trachoma, an eye infection that is responsible for more cases of blindness than any condition other than cataract. The evidence for the use of topical tetracycline and oral tetracycline, doxycycline, erythromycin, cotrimoxazole and azithromycin in trachoma are reviewed here and a number of issues are nominated as research and policy priorities.
抗生素是控制沙眼的SAFE战略的四大支柱之一。沙眼是一种眼部感染疾病，除白内障外，它导致的失明病例比其他任何疾病都多。本文综述了局部用四环素、口服四环素、多西环素、红霉素、复方新诺明和阿奇霉素在沙眼治疗中的应用证据，并提出了一些问题作为研究和政策重点。
