Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with AIC have a high risk for concurrent genital Chlamydia infection and should be referred for sexually transmitted infection testing. AIC is treated with antibiotics. Antiviral and corticosteroid medications are not appropriate therapies. Although some types of Chlamydia infection do cause blindness,AIC does not lead to blindness,so referral for visual rehabilitation is not appropriate.
