Trachoma Follicular Squeeze

Trachoma is a chronic infectious disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, because it forms a rough and uneven appearance on the surface of the conjunctiva, which is shaped like sand, hence the name trachoma. It is characterized by conjunctival nipple hyperplasia, follicular formation, linear or reticular scars, and corneal vasospasm. Many nipples perform trachoma friction, and many follicles are treated with trachoma. Treatment of diseases: trachoma Indication Trachoma follicle extrusion is suitable for: Conjunctival follicle hyperplasia. Surgery can only shorten the course of treatment and not cure trachoma. After the operation, it is necessary to adhere to the anti-Chlamydia trachomatis drug treatment, such as 0.1% , every 2h point of eye, 3d after the change to 6 times a day, 1 month later changed to 3 times a day until the cure . Contraindications 1. Acute and chronic conjunctivitis. 2. All types of blepharitis, chronic dacryocystitis, internal stye and other inflammatory diseases. Surgical procedure 1. Flip and fix the eyelids in the left hand, fully expose the conjunctiva and the conjunctiva, and use a sharp needle or a small knife to break the follicles one by one. Then squeeze the tweezers into the dome with a trachoma. The other page is in the conjunctiva. On the upper side, the conjunctiva with the follicles is clamped, and gently slides along the conjunctiva to the dome to squeeze out the contents of the follicle. It is best to do the squat first, then do the upper sputum, so as not to affect the sputum operation after the bleeding. 2. After extruding, wipe the blood in the conjunctival sac and wash it. Sprinkle 0.1% diced eye drops or 30% sulfacetamide or 0.1% rifampicin eye drops, and apply chlortetracycline eye ointment. Eye drops every 2 hours after returning home, and changed to 6 times a day after 3 days. If the eyes are not operated at the same time, let the patient rest after 20 minutes of rest, and then continue to take eye drops until the trachoma is cured. The towel used by the patient after squeezing trachoma is more contagious than before surgery, so all equipment used by the patient should be strictly isolated.
