Pashcherbo@yandex.ruNorth-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation1712202134908042022Copyright © 2021,2021The article presents information about the first years of the future academician's work as a doctor at the Obukhov Hospital in St. Petersburg, where his social work as a novice social democrat also began. Then - as a zemstvo doctor in Novaya Ladoga, where epidemics of smallpox, cholera and other infectious diseases raged. The dramatic episodes of his heroic struggle against epidemics, instructive for the present time, are presented. In the difficult conditions of the active opposition of the local population to vaccinations against smallpox, the young doctor himself suffered from smallpox, but still managed to organize a successful vaccination work in his county. The situation with the incidence of cholera was very difficult in the county. Cholera outbreaks were recorded along the waterways. There were workers who settled there, servicing the movement of goods by water. Frenkel also devoted his first scientific publications to the experience of fighting epidemics.история медициныроссийская земская медицинаакадемик Захарий Френкель1.Щербо А.П.
