Resumen
REYNA, CARLA. The Fight against Trachoma in Schoolchildren in Santiago del Estero, Argentina (1920-1940). CS [online]. 2019, n.27, pp.13-35. ISSN 2011-0324. https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i26.2703.
This article discusses the practices, individuals and institutions that were involved in the fight against trachoma in school children in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, between the 1920s and 1940s. The goals of this paper are, firstly, to analyze the creation of a mixed health care system to preserve the vision health of schoolchildren. Secondly, to examine the disputes between local trachoma experts, who relied either on a hygienist approach or a sanitary approach regarding the etiopathogenesis of trachoma, the correlation between ethnic stigmatization and contagiousness and the effectiveness of school campaigns in the province.
