Abstract
To determine transmission rates for neonatal conjunctivitis causative microorganisms in Angola, we analyzed 312 en- docervical and 255 conjunctival samples from mothers and newborns, respectively, during 2011-2012. Transmission rates were 50% for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and 10.5% for Mycoplasma genitalium. Pos sible pathogenic effects of M. genitalium in children’s eyes are unknown.
