title: [Trachoma in Niger (results of a sample survey in the department of Tahoua)].
abstract: A preliminary study on the prevalence of trachoma in Niger was carried out in the southern part of the Tahoua department in January 1987. 325 persons were examined. 60.6% were found to have trachomatous lesions, 36.9% clinically evident and evolutive lesions, 3.7% serious and severe forms and 1.2% suffered from triachiasis. The program in the fight against blindness that is currently being organized in Niger therefore has to take trachoma, that is, avoidable blindness, into account.
