摘要

Trachoma, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading infectious cause of blindness. It is transmitted via personal contact with infected ocular and nasal secretions by hands, fomites and eye- seeking flies. Active trachoma is more common among children aged 1 to 9?years. The objective of this study was determining the prevalence of active trachoma and associated factors among children aged 1 to 9?years in rural community of Lemo district. Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April, 2018 in rural community of Lemo district. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 589 study participants. Data were collected by using structured pre-tested questionnaire, physical examination and observation. Binocular loupe was used to identify active trachoma cases. The data were entered by using EPi-data version 3.1 and analyzed by SPSS. Binary logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with active trachoma. Variables with p-value ?0.05 in the multivariable analysis were used to declare significance of association. Eighty seven (15.2%) children were positive for active trachoma. Absence of solid waste disposal pit (AOR?=?2.20, 95% CI (1.12-4.37), do not use latrine as reported by respondent (AOR?=?7.53, 95% CI (2.86-19.84), do not use soap for face washing as reported by respondent (AOR =2.3, 95% CI (1.32–4.12), washing face frequency as reported by respondent (AOR?=?1.86, 95% CI (1.06–3.26), and family size greater than five (AOR?=?1.96, 95% CI (1.06–3.67) were significantly associated with active trachoma. Active trachoma among children aged 1 to 9?years is high. Do not use latrine, do not use soap for face washing, and face washing frequency in a day as reported by respondents and family size were associated with active trachoma. Access to adequate water and sanitation can be important components in working towards eliminating trachoma as a public health problem. Therefore, prompt measures must be taken by concerned bodies to increase access to adequate water and sanitation facilities.
