[Neonatal blennorrhea caused by Chlamydia trachomatis]
Abstract
Chlamydial conjunctivitis was diagnosed in a 5-day-old male newborn. Under treatment with erythromycin the clinical picture of intense swelling of the lid and the copious purulent discharge abated during the following 2 days. Chlamydia trachomatis has become worldwide the most prevalent causative agent of neonatal conjunctivitis.
