Result: The overall result of 900 participants, 99 (11.0 %) were diagnosed as active trachoma, 4.0(3.96 %) of them had follicles in the upper tarsal (TF), 0 (00.0 %) had trachoma inflammatory intense (TI) and 95 (96%) had the two signs of trachoma follicles and trachoma inflammatory intense (TF and TI). 1.4% was the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in whole children in the village and From the 99 child those who were clinically diagnosed as active trachoma patients were 13 (12.9%).
