Description
Summary:Only one database considered as gray literature, the Latin American Literature in the Health Sciences (Literatura Latinoamericana en Ciencias de la Salud, or LILACS), produced seven articles, all in Spanish and not referenced in any large recent reviews on blindness, trachoma, or other neglected tropical diseases in Latin America and the Caribbean. [...]the full versions of these articles were not available, even after institutional request. [...]it is important to note that recent meetings about trachoma elimination in the Americas by WHO and its regional office, PAHO, have emphasized the need to provide updated information on trachoma in Peru and in other countries such as Bolivia and Venezuela.
