%X 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.
