ABSTRACT
Regmatogenous, or primary, retinal detachment is a vision-threatening condition resulting from retinal rupture. Inflammation and autoimmune processes are of great importance in the pathogenesis of this disease. In this connection, the purpose of the study was to reveal the incidence of Chlamydia infection in regmatogenous retinal detachment. Subretinal fluid (SRF) aspirates and conjunctival scrapes from 50 patients with regmatogenous retinal detachment were studied by direct immunofluorescence test and polymerase chain reaction for Chlamydia trachomatis. The latter was found in 74% of SRF samples and in 90% of conjunctival scapes (in a total of 47 (94%) patients). The findings suggest that regmatogenous retinal detachment is associated with Ch. trachomatis contamination of the organ of vision in most cases. In retinal detachment, it is expedient to include tests for Ch. trachomatis into a complex of diagnostic methods and, when detected, to consider whether antichlamydial therapy is performed.
