Another case of rhinoscleroma in the Tatar Republic

The birthplace of scleroma is Galicia. Here and in the neighboring countries, scleroma occurs constantly. The main mass of patients in the USSR belongs to the western and southwestern regions, in addition, a Moscow focus is clearly visible. According to statistics published by Kordatova in 1927, a total of 278 cases of scleroma were registered in the USSR. The sick are Russians, Jews and Poles, most of them workers and peasants living in poor hygienic conditions, and a few intellectuals, but also poorly provided for. In the USSR, there is no compulsory registration of patients with scleroma, this extremely serious disease, against which any therapy is almost powerless. There is also no correct registration of patients. Only a few clinics publish fully documented cases. Meanwhile, scleroma has a certain tendency to spread and deserves more attention from both doctors and health authorities.
