Chlamydial Ophthalmia.
2006 Red Book Erratum, P. 837
Page 837: Under Chlamydial Ophthalmia, the third sentence: If erythromycin or tetracycline ointment is applied to the conjunctival surface within 1 hour of delivery, the chance of developing chlamydial conjunctivitis is rare should be omitted and replaced with Neonatal ocular prophylaxis with silver nitrate solution or erythromycin ointment for prevention of gonococcal ophthalmia does not prevent perinatal transmission of C trachomatis from mother to infant. Page 256, under Neonatal Chlamydial Conjunctivitis, contains the correct information.
