Trachoma Surveillance Report 2006 to 2011

National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit

This page contains the links to the Annual Trachoma Surveillance Reports from 2010 and 2011. The Reports are prepared by the National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit (NTSRU).

The NTSRU, established in November 2006, has been contracted by the Department of Health and Ageing to report on active trachoma in Australia annually.

The Reports contains data from regions identified as potentially ‘at risk’ of experiencing endemic trachoma in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 1 to 15 years old were examined for active trachoma using the World Health Organization’s simplified grading system.
