First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looked at whether it's safe to stop yearly mass antibiotic treatment in communities with low levels of trachoma, an eye infection that can cause blindness. Over 3,900 people in Niger took part. Researchers compared communities that stopped treatment to those that continued for three more years. The goal was to see if stopping would keep infection rates low and help eliminate the disease.
