Shedding of Chlamydia trachomatis in the eye secretion (tears) of patients with either hyperendemic trachoma or paratrachoma was studied. The method of collection of eye secretion with cellulose sponges is proved to be simple, faster, and more practicable and yielded a higher rate of chlamydial isolation than aspiration. The chlamydial isolation rates in eye secretion in chlamydia-positive paratrachoma patients in London or trachoma patients in Iran was 84 and 49% respectively. It was found that the chlamydial isolation rate from eye secretion is directly related to the number of inclusions present in the conjunctival swabbings. The results of this study indicated that patients with moderate to severe hyperendemic trachoma or paratrachoma are the main reservoir of infection. In the developing countries of the Middle East and Africa the shedding of chlamydia in the eye secretion of persons with these diseases is a major factor in the transmission of them by means of flies, fingers, towels, or bed clothes.
对患有高度流行沙眼或副沙眼患者眼分泌物（眼泪）中沙眼衣原体的脱落情况进行了研究。事实证明，用纤维素海绵收集眼分泌物的方法简单、快速且更具实用性，与抽吸法相比，衣原体分离率更高。伦敦衣原体阳性副沙眼患者或伊朗沙眼患者眼分泌物中的衣原体分离率分别为84%和49%。研究发现，眼分泌物中的衣原体分离率与结膜拭子中包涵体的数量直接相关。本研究结果表明，中度至重度高度流行沙眼或副沙眼患者是主要的感染源。在中东和非洲的发展中国家，患有这些疾病的人眼分泌物中衣原体的脱落是通过苍蝇、手指、毛巾或床单传播这些疾病的一个主要因素。
