AIM: To report two atypical inclusion conjunctivitis cases due to Chlamydia trachomatis in young adults.
METHOD: Transcription mediated amplification for C. trachomatis was performed using Aptima Combo 2 Assay (Hologic, Spain).
RESULTS: The first patient was managed as an orbital disorder because he had unilateral location, and ptosis was observed. Orbital nuclear magnetic resonance revealed normal results, and conjunctival biopsy did not indicate significant results. For the second patient, thyroid eye disease was suspected, but the orbital nuclear magnetic resonance revealed normal results. Conjunctival exudate samples were collected and sent to the Microbiology Laboratory where C. trachomatis was confirmed. Both patients demonstrated a great improvement with oral azithromycin 1 g.
CONCLUSION: Inclusion conjunctivitis could present as unspecified unilateral or bilateral chronic conjunctivitis. Thus, suspecting it would be important in order to prevent spread and wasting diagnostic resources.
