A new report from researchers at the University of Ferrara in Italy discusses the history and prevention of trachoma, a disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. The report highlights the importance of the SAFE strategy (Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial cleansing, Environment) in eliminating trachoma by 2020, as identified by the World Health Organization. The researchers also suggest adding an "S" for "sexual behavior" to the strategy, emphasizing the need to screen for sexually transmitted infections in asymptomatic patients with risky sexual behavior or contact with infected individuals.
