According to Zarubin, the incidence of trachoma in the population of the Yalchinsky district in 1931 was 70.7%. In this article, we would like to share our experience in eliminating trachoma as a mass disease in 195258. During these years, the state provided our region with the required amount of synthomycin emulsion free of charge. In these years, trachoma in the region was endemic, and more than 6,000 people were treated with synthomycin emulsion. Over the years, the number of patients with trachoma was as follows: 1952-4302.53-3860; 54-2950; 55-2433; 56-1842; 57-648; 58-250, and on January 1, 59, there were 27 people with an infectious form of trachoma.
