[Dystrophic changes of vitreous in ocular chlamydia infection].
Incidence and character of vitreous changes in ocular chlamydia infection was studied. 312 patients were enrolled into the study (175 males and 137 females) aged from 24 to 52 years old (mean age 38.4 +/- 5.2 years). 165 patients (330 eyes) with laboratory confirmed chlamydia conjunctival infection were included in the experimental group. 147 patients (294 eyes) without chlamydia conjunctival infection were enrolled to the comparison group. Each group was subdivided with regard to the age. Dystrophic changes of vitreous and its posterior detachment are more frequently revealed in eyes with Chlamydia trachomatis infection, besides it happens in a younger age.
