Analysis of the data of the statistical accounting, mass examinations of the population, observation over the clinical course of the disease and review of the autopsy material attest to the high prevalence of AB and BA in the Southern and South-Eastern parts and the low one in the Western and Northern parts of the republic as well as to their greatest prevalence among the newcomers of the cities. In the newcomers, BA was characterized by its incidence among those over 45 years of age, by the rarity of ABA, predominance of the disease of medium gravity. Meanwhile among the indigenous population, the incidence of IABA, primarily grave course and BA incidence in persons of the young and mature ages were recorded. The lethal outcomes were mainly registered in winter and summer.
