    T Lietman
    The F I Proctor Foundation and the Department of Ophthalmology, The University of California San Francisco, USA
    Nat Med 5:572-6. 1999
    ..We recommend, based on our analysis, that in areas where trachoma is moderately prevalent (<35% in children), it should be treated annually, but hyperendemic areas (>50% in children), it should be treated biannually...
  2. ncbi Travel and implications for the elimination of trachoma in ethiopia
    Neelima A Shah
    Department of Public Health Sciences, University of California, Davis, California, USA
    Ophthalmic Epidemiol 17:113-7. 2010
    ..Seven hundred and seventeen households with at least one child aged 1-5 years in 48 villages were surveyed to collect the details of travel in 1 month prior to the survey...

    Jeremy D Keenan
    F I Proctor Foundation, San Francisco, CA, USA
    Clin Infect Dis 52:883-8. 2011
    ..Here, we monitor a large cohort in which almost 90% of individuals received azithromycin. We assess whether receiving treatment is associated with reduced all-cause and infectious childhood mortality...

Research Grants7

  1. The Steroids for Cornea Ulcers Trial
    Thomas Lietman; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..2) To determine whether the addition of topical steroids results in a higher frequency of adverse outcomes. 3) To determine whether outcomes depend on the organism. ..
  2. Predicting Resistance: Validating Mathematical Models
    Thomas Lietman; Fiscal Year: 2004
    ..3. To test the validity of mathematical models by determining the prevalence of pneumococcal resistance empirically after multiple mass distributions. ..
  3. Eliminating trachoma with repeat mass drug treatment
    Thomas Lietman; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..To determine whether children form a core group for the transmission of trachoma. Can treatment targeted to children alone eventually eliminate infection in the entire community? ..
