CASE REPORT: A case of chronic follicular conjunctivitis in an infant presenting with ptosis and dacryorrhea is reported. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test identified Chlamydia trachomatis as the causative agent. The patient was treated with topic and systemic erythromycin. The infection was probably transmitted during delivery. DISCUSSION: Chronic follicular conjunctivitis in infants is very uncommon in our environment. The most sensitive and specific diagnostic test is PCR. It is necessary to identify the original focus of infection and to provide specific treatment to all the carriers as soon as possible to avoid and prevent chronic complications.

Caso clínico: Se presenta un caso de conjuntivitis folicular crónica del lactante que debuta como ptosis y dacriorragia. Mediante técnica de reacción en cadena de polimerasa (PCR) se diagnosticó Chlamydia trachomatis como agente etiológico y se trató con eritromicina tópica y sistémica. El contagio se produjo en el canal del parto. Discusión: La conjuntivitis de inclusión del lactante es muy infrecuente en nuestro medio. El método diagnóstico más sensible y específico es la PCR. Se debe identificar la fuente de contagio y hacer un tratamiento precoz y completo de todos los portadores para evitar las complicaciones de la cronicidad
